ABATE 2nd Annual Poker Run

ABATE 27 was gracious enough to host another poker run.  This was their second annual event.

Having been to the inaugural event last year, I kind of knew what to expect - a good time with lots going on.  There were raffles, vendors, bike games, etc.  I only participated in the poker run, raffles, and food intake.

Keeping with my personal tradition, I didn't fare well in the poker run.  I ended up with a pair of fives after nearly succeeding in getting my all-time worst hand.  The raffles, on the other hand, I ended up with more decals for the wife's car.

Grub was provided by the American Legion Post 79 at Fairmount Park in Riverside, CA for a nominal fee.

The poker run was decent, with a few stops scattered around.  No attractive young ladies wearing bikinis this year, though.  Refreshments were provided at each stop.

As with most rides and events, I managed to snap a few pictures.  Here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Due to lack of participation for the wienie bite contest, this is what was offered.















As usual, the ABATE 27 members were very hospitable and friendly.  I enjoyed hanging out with them and enjoying the day at the park.

I hope you enjoyed the words and pictures.
