My first motorcycle poker run was quite enjoyable. The premise of the poker run 
is you ride to different locations where an individual is stationed with a deck of cards. You pick a card at each location and the best hand wins. Mark, Mike A., and I rode out to the event in Lansing together. In what started out as a warm early morning around Novi quickly evolved into a very cold morning once we hit Lansing. Once the sun came out, however, everything was all good. The event was held to raise money for a co-worker of Mark’s who is battling cancer.
The ride itself was great. Mark was in charge of the setting the destinations and the routes. While he may not always be on time (he is getting better), he sure has an eye in picking some good low traffic, winding country roads. There were probably 40 or so riders and a couple who came along in their pimp mobiles. Besides a dead battery in one of the pimp mobiles, there were no bike or person casualties I am happy to report.

After the ride, everyone congregated back to the
Lansing Galloup Company warehouse for a barbecue, some cold beverages, and the awards for best hand and best bike. My two fives were not even close to challenging the flush that won. The winner graciously gave the winning money back to the collection that was taken. Some great people at the Galloup Company I must say. The event was first class all the way.Trail Head
