What is 'pedal poker'?
Pedal Poker is a fun game where bicyclists, runners, and walkers visit
five checkpoints along the bike path, receiving a card at each. After
gathering a full hand, the participants with the best poker hands at
the end of the game win. Prizes include a Giant™ road bike, an
iPad, and more!
This event is not a race. We ask that you visit the first and last stops in order but the remaining three locations can be visited in any order. The suggested route is approximately 10 miles.
Check out the Rules for more details about times and locations.
