EVENT DETAILS
Welcome to the inaugural Galisteo Basin Preserve Benefit Poker Ride, hosted by Albuquerque Area Trail Riders. The Poker Ride will involve participants riding their horses through GBP and collect playing cards from stations situated along the route. At the end of the ride, each rider shows his or her best poker hand for a chance to win! The basic registration includes one hand of poker (five cards, one from each of five stations) but riders can elect to purchase additional "hands" to collect more cards. Early registrants (prior to September 1) will be eligible for a special EARLY BIRD CARD that can be added to any one hand for an extra bump!
Riders will be encouraged to leave between 9am - 12pm on a 8 mile course. You are welcome to start whenever you would like, but we are suggesting "waves" based on speed. The last rider in is expected around 2:00pm. Hands will be assessed from 2:00pm-3:00pm, and awards will be given promptly at 3:00pm.
One breakfast burrito and complementary coffee is included in your registration, courtesy of Our Daily Bread Food Truck, who will also be on hand serving their lunch menu throughout the day.
