Participants will ride throughout the Metroplex collecting cards at various checkpoints that will comprise a hand of poker. Prizes for the best poker hands will be awarded. The ride ends at Texas Motor Speedway. The event will conclude with an evening of live music, bike games, a bike show, vendors, raffles and laps around the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway.
