Hmmm, if want to pansy out on the ride you can throw out $10 and get a hand at the end point.

yes you can.
I'm working on having someone update the webpage with those types of rules.

Oh, that makes it sound like you have a hand in organizing. It looks like it could be fun. I might check it out if I remember. I'd be interested in knowing the route or at least a bit more about the format. When I was browsing through I didn't see a mention of how many stops there would be. In a previous run I went on (and crashed on...  ) there were more than 5 stops so you could swap a couple cards at the later stops. Will this be a straight 5 stop, 5 card run?

i'm not involved in the organizing, but I have access to the people who are organizing.
My understanding is that there will be only 5 stops.  The "proposed" route is about 140 miles round trip.  I don't want to say for sure where the checkpoints will be until they're finalized.  i know some of the suggested stops, but I don't know how solid they are.

got more info on the route

Here is the POKER RUN ROUTE!

Map

The run will begin from Mission Motorsports with registration beginning at 8am until 9am.  The last bike will be out by 9:30am. 

The run will then head out to Ortega Hwy where the first checkpoint will be at Hell's Kitchen.

The ride will then take you through some very scenic and fun back roads in Temecula with checkpoints in key locations.

After drawing your 4th card you will drop down into Fallbrook where you can either head East to the I-15 and circle back to Ortega Hwy ( ) or continue down to the 76 and head West to the I-5 fwy ( ).

The run will end at Edison Park where you will draw your final card and then turn in your score card.  Score cards are due in by 2:30pm, so there is no rush as the entire route takes less than 4 hours to complete. 

Remember, this is a fun and casual ride and there are no incentives for arriving at checkpoints first.  Ride safe and enjoy the run. :7:

1st prize on the poker run is 50% of the pot, 2nd I think is a Dainese textile jacket, then some other random things.  Don't quote me on that though.

Looks like a nice turn out. I was set on going and then got an email the night before about riding GMR with some old co-workers that I haven't ridden with in a while. So I dragged my ass out to GMR at 7:15am and then we ate lunch afterward. I was on my way to the ending point when I got fuel issues and the bike died on me.  Not sure if I've got them sorted out but hopefully I can make it out next weekend.

Did you win anything?

I actually couldn't go, sadly.
I think 34 or 35 participated in the poker run, so whoever had high hand went home with $175.  We were expecting more people for the poker run, but a lot of people flaked, apparently.

Pays for gas. 

Probably a better deal taking second place though, assuming you need a new jacket.

I didn't find out about it until after, otherwise sounds like the kind of event i'd enjoy.
