I never heard of such a thing… a poker run? sounds like it could be fun. I cant play poker worth a shit but I assume that doesnt matter. Its more like a big on going raffle. I dont gamble but this could bring the demons out of me :mwahaha lol

I don’t think they tell the route to anyone. They just tell the locations.  
AFAIK.

I don’t think i’m even going to give destinations, the course will develop as you drive it. So no-one knows.

What would be really cool is to start a race with 1st location then send other locations through SMS Text messages 🙂

Yeah uh…mmmm… no way too difficult and “ghey” for my tastes. Finished the course last night it’s about 2-2.5 long and hits some interesting roads. Some of them are dirt and will be tricky for some bikes and lowered vehicles but hopefully no one is a pussy and comes out anyway. The roads aren’t that bad and will probably be much better without snow on them. Need to put a flyer together or if anyone is feeling artistic they can put one together for this. The date is set for may 3rd rain or shine and all proceeds will be donated to charity, TBD still.  
How about? liquor in the front - poker in the rear? :nono :nono Any suggestions for a name?

Is there any good food location half way through or close to the end?

Ideally some mom and pop diner?
