Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
Hmmm, this might be the answer to my dilemma. I feel that the Sportfire needs to be clean,dry and inside for the induction dinner and I wasn't sure how to deal with that after the Vintage Challenge. Perhaps if Bob Enns and/or other ETD guys would ride it in the poker run we could make additional funds by getting pledges for each mile. This has been Jon's thought from day one and I wasn't sure how to deal with it. This might be the answer......Comments??

Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
I've been thinking about that too Don. It occured to me that the easiest thing to do, ( and make the day fun for you ) was to carry the Sporty into the Whitetail Saturday morning, and leave it there. Put Mr Enns on a 340S on Sat., and let's go riding!WinnipegStPaul9 wrote:Hmmm, this might be the answer to my dilemma.

With all that mercury news out there you may wish to steer clear of that fish fry. I here it can make one sick.
Good idea about the pledges Don.

Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
Hi all, I don't get on your forums here as often as I would like too. Is there a thread started anywhere regarding the upcoming Vintage Challange Ride with the Champs? Just curious what kind of ride/destination/etc is planned for this year? I don't need to know this far in advance, but think about that event around 5 days a week! Tom.

Tom,
You and me both!
My only regret from last year was not taking more time to meet the other riders. Seems it's just so easy to get caught-up in the day.
Later,
Roger

Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
The pledge idea has been Jon's from the start. I just couldn't figure out how to make it work with the Vintage Challenge but I think it would work great for the "Poker Run" and still leave the Sportfire ready for Saturday night.

To answer Tom's question about a thread for 2010 ride, nothing has been started yet.

Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
Well Bob I know a fellow that has a 340/S that you could ride, perhaps in exchange for a ride on a 2010 Doo.........

Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
We (my father Allen) and I would be in for the Poker Run.
Will there be a post/thread on here if there is a FOR SURE decision on this pre-event, event?

Re: Possible poker run the day before Ride with the Champs
Hi all,
I will be co-ordinating the Poker run on the Friday before the Ride with the Champs. It is on for sure and details will follow after the 1st of the year. Im open to any and all suggestions. Right now im looking at about a 50-60 mile loop, 20.00 per hand for the poker run and there will be some trophies handed out in the end. For the poker run half the proceeds would go to the hall of fame and half to the top 3 poker hands. The ride will be a slower paced ride and plenty of time at each stop for BS. Trying to organize a lunch but seems to be more of a hassle than its worth. Tentative right now would be to meet at the Hall of fame at 8, leave at 8:30 for first stop, lunch at one of the stops and be back at the hall at 3-3:30 for bonfire and brat cookout. Again im open for susggestions. If anybody has questions feel free to email me. Thanks!
