Anyone interested in a poker run? The annual Poker and Toy run for a friend of mine is coming up on Saturday, November 18th. It is a great day trip to see the back road of Arizona, and a great way to help out under privelaged kids. Anyone interested can see the web site set up for Tracy at http://www.tmbikerun.com/index.html. I think it would be fun to out number the bikes with HHR's!!! :nuts: We can all meet at a local spot and roll in together! Let me know if you are interested!

Hopefully I have a ride and I will join :thumb:

You have a couple of months, I'm sure you will have your wheels back or have that shiny new one... one of the two. I know it is a couple of months away, figured I would post it now so that everyone who is interested can plan ahead. One of the stops in Kirkland is an old Saloon that is great for photos! Hope you can join us!

You should talk to the dealership where you got your HHR from and see if they want to sponser.

Not a bad idea. I'll have to check with his family and get all the info from them!

Count me in as well. Sounds like a good time and a good cause. So what is it exactly? I am no good at poker!

I think they have check points and pass out a card and the best hand at the end wins. Not sure only a guess

dbarberaz has it right. You get a card at each stop. Everyone usually hangs out for a bit at each stop and gets to know one another. The Kirkland stop is my favorite, it's an old saloon, usually go in read about the history and have a cold soda before heading to the next stop. I'm like you...don't know much about poker.. but I get my cards anyways! It's a really good cause, the faimly has done a lot to help the local kids. The toys go to underprivelaged kids for the holidays, they have purchase things like canoes for boy scout troops with the money raised. Tracy was like a brother to my baby brother.. his life was cut way too short. It's a really great time to travel the back roads and have fun! Usually a great lunch/dinner with live band after the ride, really great time for all! Hope to see you there! :smile:

Retro
Will you be taking the kids with you? And will it be Mr and Mrs Reto making the trip?
I got one of the new remote control HHR's to donate, also. :lol:

It is a family event.. may just be me and the boys. Mr may be working. I can never leave on a trip in the HHR without my oldest.. he tells everyone it is his!...My name may be on the title.. but his name is on the plates...:smile: Bring the family with you!

Its a saturday too! I am all in! May have my 2 year old with me. Just the 2 of us though. How much $$$? and other than toys to donate what else should I bring?

I'll have my 2 year old and 5 year old with me as well. If you pre-register at the link below..it's $20.00 that gets you in and your shirt. If you register day of event.. it's $25.00. You bring the toy the day of the event unwrapped. That's it..usually includes your dinner. They moved the starting/end point this year, I will check with the family and make sure there is still the dinner afterwards. All the HHR's will probably meet the morning of about 8ish at the Anthem mall and go in together. It's good to be there before the start time to have coffee and what not with everyone! Glad to hear you will be joining us! It is a really nice back road drive! :smile:

Retro....

Got your PM. I'm interested but, I have friends and relatives coming in about that time for the holidays.....so it just depends.

You know living in Arizona, and coming from the eastern and mid eastern states, a lot of friends/relatives like to visit that time of year.

I absolutely understand, that is why I wanted to post it early since it is so close to the holidays. Family and friends definatelly come first..but should you find yourself looking for something to do...come join the fun. The tradition is to have pig roast afterwards! Great time for all :cool:

I still plan to make the run not sure who all will be with me but at least I will be going. :thumb:

If we're meeting around 8ish I may come up the night before and stay in a hotel just so I can get some sleep! hahaha! I don't want to have to fight I-10 traffic like me and SSMike did for the williams trip!

If that is what you end up doing let me know, if you want I can give you a few places out by me, then if Snoop gets to go he is close to me, then we can all go meet Retro at the same place we meet last time.

There is a hotel right next to the Anthem outlet as well. Just a thought if you all want to sleep in until the last minute... we could all have breakfast together at Denny's in the same parking lot before we head out.. again just anoter idea on the table!

Another quick thought... there were questions with this weekends run as to dinner and registration for the poker run. Our home is just minutes from the starting/ending point. We could do a bar b que at the house (tri tip probably) and then have a huge bon fire afterwards...

Both your last ideas sound good. :thumb:

Yeah.. in the immortal words of Beavis and Butthead... FIRE FIRE..huh huh FIRE!

We have had the fire department called on us before.... guess it will be dinner and a show!

For anyone attending the Local Zonies Run in October, I will bring a T-shirt from a past year for everyone to see.

Looking for a head count for bar b que afterwards... just wondering who all is coming?

Unless I have to work there will be four of us.

Just me. Like usual! :D

I am definately going. Need to show off the new mods! HAHAHA! And will be up friday night before in a hotel. Probably stay at the one Mandy mentioned near the mall where we're meeting... what are the odds of it being full from the run???

Shouldn't be full, there will be about 50-60 bikes, and all are local. Give us a call when you get to town Friday night!

Due to unforseen family emergency I am not going to be able to make it this time. Sorry guys! Hope ya'll have fun and take lots of pics!!!! :D
