Subject: Lost Mine Poker Run Results.....and Ride Report Author: Dave Beaumont [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:47:36 03/29/12 Thu Lost Mine Poker Run 2012 Thanks everyone who braved the storm to make the March Poker Run an event to remember. We had 80 entries and raised over $1700.00 for the Holts' ministry in the nation of Georgia. It took a formidable spirit to ride out in the teeth of the storm and we had all ages suit up in various kinds of raingear to tackle both loops. My enduro jacket was soaked by the time we reached the rock palace and I had to pull out my emergency trash bag. My gloves were soaked, .my hands were freezing and my goggles were blurry but I figured if the kids can make it so can 1. My riding group included Julie Angell, Cathy Saldana and Anthony Saldana Jr.. After about 11 miles we reached the 22/45 mile split and I asked Anthony (who was riding a Yam 85cc minibike) which loop he wanted to complete. He called out through the rain "45 miles, definitely!" I was kind of hoping for the shorter loop but we slogged on through the mud, splashing through puddles, crossed one new river and stopped a couple of times to clean the mud out of our wheels. We thought we'd reached Heaven when we made it to check 3 and found Art Whitney and Winston Beaumont under the shelter of a railroad trestle and Art asked "How many hot dogs do you want?" I've never tasted finer dogs. Other people who helped out were Randy Hettema and Paul Beaumont (down from Montana) who both helped with layout on Friday, Sandy Estrada who led us in song around the campfire, Fred Massari who pulled ribbon on Sunday and our president Scott Burnett who helps put everything together and is quick to set-up or move a tarp to keep us out of the rain. It was a weekend of great people, great riding and great ministry.
