The Gambler 2: Playing for Keeps Part II

  • Urban Bar 109 N Central St Knoxville, TN, 37902 United States (map)

Ride Summary: The Gambler is back on the game! Double down and let it ride with lucky dogs, Two Bikes and Tennessee Valley Bikes, for another high rollin’ poker run. The action will be hot and the chips may or may not be down…but one thing is for sure, only one player will hit jackpot!

This is a 21+ ride.

$5 buy-in, five checkpoints, five card-draw, best hand takes the pot. Need more info? Cue the RULES, Doc.

  • Entry is $5. All money goes to the rider with the best hand

  • At registration riders will receive a manifest with five checkpoints.

  • Riders will receive one card at each of the five checkpoints

  • The rider with the best hand wins

  • At some checkpoints riders will be able to “discard” or exchange cards after completing certain, unspecified challenges.

  • This is not a race. Fastest time does NOT win. 

  • Rider meet-up/orientation at 4:45pm at Urban Bar. Ride starts at 5:30pm.

  • All checkpoints will be abandoned at 7:45pm. Race ends at 8:30pm.

  • In the event of a tie, Cee-Lo will determine the winner

  • THIS IS 21+ RIDE

  • And don’t forget the Joker

Challenge Level: Serious Amateur

Distance/Elevation: Your mileage may vary, but expect to ride ~20miles

Average Pace: Again, that’s up to you

Appropriate Bike: Some of checkpoints will be located along MTB trails, so bring a bike that behaves well both on and off road (gravel, hardtail, chubby road)

Rider Expectations: 

  • Be sure to hydrate and make adult decisions.

  • This is technically a mixed-surfaced ride. Be prepared to ride your bike on-road AND off-road (gravel).

  • Locks recommended. Lights HEAVILY encouraged. Helmets required
