A score card including route map will be given to each qualifying rider prior to the start and must present it at each breakpoint to receive their playing card selection. (RIDER MUST CHOOSE ONLY ONE PLAYING CARD AT EACH BREAKPOINT).

All playing cards will be chosen at the designated breakpoints on the poker ride route. A bonus route including two additional breakpoints is added to challenge the rider and increase a rider’s winning chances. Breakpoint admins will mark the score card, initial and hand the score card back to the rider. No duplicate playing cards can be selected. Participant must draw an additional playing card if an identical one has previously been drawn and marked on the score card.

Only (5) playing cards can be selected on the score card for the overall winnings. Two playing cards from the total score card must be eliminated by those riders choosing additional playing cards collected on the bonus route.
