EBLES Annual Poker Ride & Trail Class
44 riders attended our Annual Poker Ride on Sunday April 29, 2018. Funds were raised through the sale of 90 poker hands and entry fees for the ~20 participants of the Trail Class.
A special thanks to Adrianna Hamm who judged the Trail Class and came up with a very creative course.
Thank-you to the CRD Parks for allowing us to host this great event and for clearing a lot of overgrown trails the week before the ride.
