Our inaugural ride took place on May 15, 2010. We had almost 50 bikes and beautiful weather for a safe run. Thanks go out to our club members, riders, volunteers and others involved for all your help and assistance in pulling off an outstanding inaugural poker run. Keith from Sideline Media Productions took lots of pictures - from portraits, to candid shots to "action" shots from the route. Online ordering of these pictures is available at the link below to Sideline Media Productions. Remember that portions of the picture proceeds will be donated to Ride with Pride...thanks for your generous order in advance!
We made our donation to Ride with Pride at the barn at our June meeting. Use this link to check out our visit to the barn.
On to pictures from the poker run...

Dawn presents riders with cautions and directions for the ride.
Riders listen to the ride expectations along with Daisy, the Ride with Pride dog. Daisy's spray training collar (to help her consider polite barking) was busy spraying her as the bikes started up and rode out! Poor Daisy... 
Riders line up for the first wave out.
Off they go..bye!
Ride with Pride volunteers watch as the parade passes.
Eddie stages as road captain of the second run. In total, three runs went out and returned safely.
Once the rides returned, Botali's served outstanding fish and chips, hotdogs, steak and cheese subs, sodas and ice cream. The Poker Run winner graciously donated half of her winnings back to Ride with Pride. Then the ticket numbers were called out, and the 50/50 winnings and door prizes were handed out.
Once the event ended, club members cleaned and packed up. Here, Maria and Karen pause for the camera as they reflect on their hard work and successful Poker Run for Ride with Pride by the Old Dominion Cruiser Club!!
Stay tuned for more ODC plans!
