40+ MS Poker Run

We are trying to coordinate the 2012 MS Poker Run with The Front Range Riders Club hosted by Beemers and More Motorcycle Works who have offered their assistance. A group from 40+ will be meeting with Front Range Riders to coordinate this effort. We thank Front Range Riders and Beemers and More Motorcycle Works for their offer.

Poker Run Event

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 buy additional hands or score cards as you wish to help better your odds. (remember all money goes to MS) 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 that you carry with you. 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 registration 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 directions 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

It's never too early to start planning for 2012. If you're looking for someone to ride up with, contact a club member. We normally go up as a club in several groups at various times (some are slow, some fast, and some fly) and camp together in Spearfish, SD. 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!

For you rookies, make sure you pack camp chairs for sitting around the campfires, rain gear for the inevitable storms, insect repellent and CASH (the campground does not take plastic or checks!

Scavenger Hunt

The Fall the 40+ Motorcycle Club Scavenger hunt for has been postponed due to inclement weather. Stay tuned for additional information. This will be a minimum mileage event. The motorcycle returning with the least amount of miles put on since the start of the event (less penalties) will be the winner. All physical items that need to be collected will easily fit on a motorcycle. Other items will be virtual items where the participant will need to obtain a piece of information to be turned in at the end of the event. This will be a multi-hour event and can be run entirely on paved roads. (that may not be the shortest route, however) The event is intended to be another way of raising money to be donated to MS, and again there will be no administrative costs. This event can be done on a Motorcycle or in a Car or Truck. Winner will be awarded a cash prize.

The July Campout was washed out, but some riders went anyway searching for a place to camp. See the Gallery for photos.
