Poker Ride
Ever heard of a poker run? No, it’s not a mad dash with playing cards flying everywhere although that sounds pretty cool. Our poker run is an interactive event, where participants visit various checkpoints, drawing playing cards at each one all in pursuit of the best poker hand by the end. It’s a fun and unique yet familiar concept that is taking bike fest week by storm. Our theme for our poker run will be a tropical one with lots of elevations, libations, music and fun. Please join us for our first ever family fun poker ride!
When: 11am-3pm
