1st Annual R2RRRR Poker Ride

04.19.08



Saturday




START TIME: 10am to 4pm or so








Trail of Slime Productions Presents:



Get Your Fix on Route 66



Saturday April 19, 2008, 10am to 4pm



Please sign up on the Google Group if you are interested.



Amboy, CA



20 miles of fixed, single speed, BMX, or cruiser friendly riding in the beautiful low desert on Historical Route 66. 10 miles from Roy's Cafe out to the Road Runner's Retreat Restaurant and 10 miles back, 300 ft of easy climbing on the way out, 200 ft on the way back. 5 miles of extra credit. Easy ride if it's not windy, hot, or cold, or all three at the same time. In my experience April should be pretty nice out there.



This will be an honor system poker run. For those not familiar with poker runs along the way you'll pick a sealed card at each of 5 stops. There will be two SPECIAL JOKERS hidden in the desert that can be used in any manner by the lucky finder. Vague instructions on their general location and what to look or listen for will be passed on via the time honored tradition of verbal communication. There will probably be a few more jokers randomly scattered around, bring a bag or backpack because the jokers will be attached to things you need to bring back to the finish. Only one joker per rider!




And as mentioned, there will be an extra credit of 5 miles for the first few finishers. This extra credit will entail using the directions on the extra credit spoke card to find a secret spot where there will be extra cards stashed. So, if one does the extra credit and finds a joker at most you'll end up with 5 cards, a joker, and a bonus card.

Pick up a spoke card at 10am or later, ride the course, pick up your cards along the way, KEEP THEM SEALED, and turn in your cards by 4pm or so, and we will unveil everyone's cards at 4:30pm (these times may be adjusted closer to the event).



Prizes (NOT WORTH CHEATING FOR) will be handed out for Low Hand Fixed, High Hand Fixed, Low Hand Freewheeler, and High Hand Freewheeler. WE HAVE OUR FIRST PRIZE SPONSOR, but I'm keeping the prizes secret until event day. I'm still working on the other 3. Oh, yeah, if you remember bring an extra dollar or two or spare change to stuff in the prize cans that I'll have for each of the winners.



This is not a race, explore the desert, that's what it's all about. But those who start early can search for the joker, and those who finish early can do the extra credit. And then maybe ride some more.


Over the next couple of months as time permits we will be installing Points of Interest along the route. Contact me if you'd like to contribute.



It will be close to a full moon on Saturday night so there will probably be a short midnight ride over to Bagdad to create a surreal scene for the train conductors of the UPBNSFGN railroad.



If you stay overnight in the area we'll ride on Sunday and/or climb Amboy Crater.



There's plenty of camping around Amboy Crater (primitive car camping, no tables, or bathrooms, and a very noisy train track that is in use constantly 24 hours a day), camping and hotels in 29 Palms 40 miles away, and camping at Granite Pass 26 miles away. Camp Trail of Slime will be in the Amboy lava flow 3 miles west of Amboy. There is a public restroom in Amboy, it's open during the day but I don't know if it has running water. I will check it out next time I'm in the area.



Unfortunately this event is going to require cars for most people so car pooling is encouraged.



There is practically no cell coverage in Amboy, and Roy's may or may not be open by April. They may be serving food by then but I doubt they will have their gas pumps ready. Be prepared.



Oh, yeah, espresso shots at the start while they last.
