sounding out feedback for a Poker Run

Ride-outs & Events
1

Ok the idea is as follows.

Riders meet at various points (The Ace, Box Hill, Oakdene) and depart at a coordinated time, probably 10:00 after a hearty if not healthy breakfast.

You each have to go to 5 stops, (country pubs and places of interest) maps and locations will be provided (this is not a treasure hunt) where they will be handed a sealed envelope containing 1 playing card.

The first back to the finish point with 5 cards and the BEST POKER HAND wins, its not a race as you might be the first back but have a lousy hand.

Prizes will be awarded for the best and worst hands, the stupidest story and a special discretionary award for uncommon events.

£2 entry per bike to be donated to L.A.A.

To take place on the 3rd sunday in sept.

Love the idea…

Does this mean you will need 5 non-participants (one at each stop) to hand out the cards?

I reckon i would be up for this :smiley:

4

Hehe… without wishing to tempt fate or nothing:

???

:smiley:

5

You are not allowed anywhere near the bike/drink/gym the night before as a sicknote will not be permitted :stuck_out_tongue:

6

Team Greenrider did very well … considering they were leaderless … let down at the last minute … demoralised … etc etc …

Fack me! That bought you out of hibernation pretty quickly! :DYou must sit there, not logged in, so you look like guests and people think you’re out riding or summat, but really, you’re rubbing Ibuprofen Gel into each other and drinking Horlicks :laugh:

8

Yes Boss :smiley: :Whistling:

  1. We don’t like Horlicks2. Even if we had any Ibuprofen Gel (whatever that is) it would be difficult to rub it on anything as we’re 8 miles apart:w00t:

  1. Sorry! Sorry! How could I forget! GIN! Drinking Gin - that’s what othe old people do, innit?2. Never heard of Phone Sex Medicinal Application? Like this:Ooo… Julie, can you do my corns? Oh yeah, rub the hard bit… ahhh… ahhh… God, yeah… oh Julie, the hard bit fell off… Oooo… now do my back baby - yeah - my sciatica’s really playing up…Do you hate me yet? :smiley: I can try a bit harder if not :laugh::hehe::laugh:

Point of order for the Jets…Team Greenrider leaderless? :crying:

Think you’ll find someone spent the whole morning, afternoon (and most of the evening!) leading the way!

Stevie Sicknote - no excuses this time mate, or you’ll never live it down :wink:

12

You’re in deep s**t now Ramone! You’ll have more than sciatica when we find you - and never mind playing poker, we might do something to you with one:angry:

13

And a top leader he was too, he never tried to lose us either :wink:

14

Agreed. Very sorry Nick :blush:“Leaderless” was obviously the wrong word. (It was difficult to find one word to explain the anticlimax of the hype, the motivational talks, the bravado, followed by … the lame excuse about the groin strain) You did very well to step in at the very last moment as soon as Sicknote phoned in with his feeble whimpering.

15

No worries guys - Ramone knows the score. :slight_smile:

Trixie, Stevie tried to lose me too on his North Kent twisties…lovely roads for sure. He also took me on Kent’s longest route without a garage, just as my light came on…running on fumes as they say:w00t:

16

would the three of you like to bugger off somewhere else and maybe this topic will come back on track?:w00t:

17

Yeah! You blerdy hijackers :smiley:
