Poker Ride!

 I was down to Great Basin brewery for dinner with a friend last week and notice a flier in the window for the next Gonads-n-Strife poker ride.  If you haven't every done this, it's a blast and benefits a great cause.  It doesn't mater what kind of bike is gathering dust in the garage.  Grab it and get down to Great Basin (Sparks location).

If you don't know how these things work here's the basics.  Show up and donate your $15.  You'll get a cool t-shirt and some other schwag in return.  You also draw for your first card in your 5 card stud poker hand.  If you're their a little early get yourself a beer and relax for a bit.  At "high noon" the entire place empties out and bikes of every flavor from tandems to low rider cruisers to touring bikes!  We take of Victorian and head for Reno via the river path.  The pace is very mellow and you'll meet a few new friends on the ride.

From here I don't know this years route...but in the past it's included Silver Peak on the River, Sierra Tap House, Silver Peak on Wells (Old Peak for some of us), and others.  Please note I'm not in the loop on this and the routes and bars may be changed!  Either way you get to ride around town and draw cards for the rest of your poker hand.  You may also roll at your own pace and have a beer or two as you migrate around town.  The last card is drawn back at Great Basin in Sparks and prizes are awarded with some live music as the evening rolls on!  So come join us and have an excuse to ride your bike!
