I had the pleasure of riding in the poker run presented by the Choir Boys, which started at Pomona Valley Harley Davidson and ended at Bass Pro Shops in Rancho Cucamonga.
As usual, I didn't fare well in the poker run. It started out great, I had possibly the worst hand in the making - an 8, 5, and a 2 of various suits. If I keep this up, I would be able to claim the prize for worst hand - not a bad payout.
I proceeded to the fourth stop, hoping for another lousy card and continue my streak. This stop was a cool little bar that I hadn't known to exist, although I've lived in the same city for over 10 years. I approached the couple of bikers tending the bar and not the table of cards in the next room (poor bastards were hopelessly drawn to the attractive beauties pouring the drinks). I drew my card. Damn! Another five.
Looking at a pair of fives, I now hope for a third or at least 2 pair.
The final stop, Bass Pro Shops, allowed me to draw my final card. Hope still lingering near the surface of my brain, I hastily reached for a card. I turned it over to see a face card of some sort. Knowing that I had failed to win a prize, I didn't really pay much attention to what the card was.
I proceeded to Bass Pro Shops from the parking lot. Big mistake. I now long for a boat and I know that this isn't going to be good news for the wife.
I had my provided lunch, chatted with a few of the Choir Boys, and enjoyed the rest of my time there. Vendors were available, with makeshift booths and tables of various garments and wares for the purchasing. All-in-all, it was a nice experience and I really enjoyed it.
Thanks, Choir Boys!
