Not Ranked
Poker runs are great! Been on lots of 'em on our Harleys around Los Angeles area. Here's how they work:
1. Everyone gets a card sheet with 52 squares for the cards in a deck. (Dont lose your sheet!) Pick your first card, from a face-down deck, or in a paper bag, (say, 3 of Clubs), have it marked on your sheet.
2. Follow directions to the next stop. Pick another card. If you pick the 3 of Clubs again, it doesnt count, and you pick another card, and have it marked on your sheet.
3. Follow directions to the NEXT stop. Pick another card, etc etc.
4. Follow directions... pick another card, etc.
5. Follow directions....pick a card, etc......
6. Now you have five cards marked on your sheet. Depending on how many prizes are awarded, (High hand, low hand, etc,) the prizes are given out at the end.
The idea is just to get miles under your belt, see the scenery, enjoy everyone's company, and have a good time.
Usually, a few hundred bikers do the poker runs here in L.A. Remember, Bikes take up less space than cars, (even Cobras!), so parking isnt that big of a problem. Splitting the group into two is a good idea; three may be even better, due to the physical size of cars over bikes.
Extra cards may be bought for an additional fee, usually $1 a card. "Throw out" the least valuable card in your hand.
It MAY work out best, due to the size of Cobras over bikes, to have "Drive-thru" card pickings, for those who do not wish to, or need to, get out of the Cobras.
There is plenty of time for the Run to take place, so there is NO NEED to hurry or speed in any way, in order to finish the Run. Unless you like to drive your Cobra fast. And who likes to drive their Cobra fast!
It will be a blast!
Any questions, just let me know here!
