The Second Annual Turkey Hold 'em Ride

turkeyholdem.jpg

Join us on Sunday, November 17th for a mixed terrain poker ride, where riders or teams of 2 will find their way to 5 unique locations (to be named on the day of the event) where they will receive 1 playing card at each location. The 5 cards that each person/team will receive will make up their poker hand. Riders will select their own route to reach of the unique locations, jumping between dirt and road sections. It will be a choose-your-own adventure, a scramble and a test in route planning. The ideal bike for this event will be a gravel bike, but a hard tail mountain bike would be a good choice, as well.There will be prizes for the best poker hands and other fun awards. This will not be a timed event, as it will be about having fun and raising money for two great causes. 100% of all proceeds will be split between MCBC and local food banks.
