Our Major project each year is our MS Poker Run. Next year (2011) will be our 18th year of raising money for MS to help fight this terrible disease. Our run happens on the 2nd Sunday in June and runs approximately 100 miles around Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. We have wonderful trophies, great door prizes, an auction and unique opportunities for obtaining cards at the stops. The run is open to Motorcycles, Cars and Bicycles (yes we’ve had some). We still operate the cheapest Poker Run around and ALL MONEY RAISED GOES DIRECTLY TO MS, WITH NO ADMINISTRATION FEES !!
For those that have never been on a poker run, let me briefly explain. You are playing a game of 5 card poker, with each hand costing $10.00. You can normally buy as many hands or score cards as you wish. Everyone starts at a common point, follows a common route and stops at known spots approximately every 20—30 miles. At each of these stops, you draw or otherwise obtain a playing card from a deck of 52 cards. That card is noted on your score sheet. At the end of the run and after the 5th stop, you will have 5 cards noted on your score sheet. High hand wins. It’s that simple. The trick is that you don’t know where the stops are until you start. At the start you find out where the 1st stop is and get a map or written directions to get you there. At the first stop you will get a card and instructions to the next stop. This continues until the end and final stop. At the end, there will be refreshments available, prizes and great fun.
Come out and enjoy the day with fellow bikers, enjoy the ride and scenery and know that your donation will be greatly appreciated and put to good use in the fight against MS right here in Northern Colorado. |

Sturgis 2010 is now past, but it’s never too early to start planning for next year. If you’re looking for someone to ride up with, contact a club member. We go up as a club in several groups at various times (some are slow, some fast, and some fly) and camp together. Now’s a good time to drag out that camping gear to make sure it’s in good shape. There are great deals to be had on summer gear during the winter! Of course it never snows at Sturgis! |
