2010 POKER BIKE RIDE BENEFIT!

Join this fun ride that begins & ends at the Morro Bay Community Center. Riders will cruise along the beautiful Central Coast on 1 of 2 routes – a 25k or a 50K. Riders will be dealt a playing card at each supported rest stop along the route. Local sponsors have donated some great prizes for the best poker hands turned in at the end of the ride. Stick around for a “thank you” lunch after the ride – complete with homemade cookies! Proceeds from the ride benefit the SLO Hep C Project.  The number of riders is limited to 75, so be sure to sign up now!
