2010 Poker Run Fundraiser















Welcome to the 2010 CAF Scott and BR cycling Poker Run Fundraiser. This was a very successful event not just for the financial aspect but also great since there were people we recognized from the QMDC ride group, Alumni's and as well as new smiling faces. Adam Beck (2009 Radio Winner and G2 Ride Leader) and Brian Brillo from last years radio group. Making an appearance were radio contestants Todd B and Dave M (with his son) supporting the remaining five in the group. Also from the MDC group, Chintan, Shelby, John, and Fred made it out to support the radio group. There were at least 20 diverse riders that day, I saw a mountain bike and couple of tri bikes as well. Nice to see that the message of our event not only reached the road cycling community. The ride was a moderate 39 mile loop starting from Carmel Valley, through San Dieguito Rd, 4S ranch, Penasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Mira Mesa and back to Carmel Valley. Several hills to give riders a bit of a challenge and for the brave souls that wanted to, we had a optional in and out ride up to the 67 via Scripps Ranch Parkway. The SAG angels for Sundays ride were Danielle and Joe (that's right I'm calling you an angel Joe for not riding), Keith's wife Esther and my angels Cristal and Winter. Thank you all for keeping us hydrated and fed throughout the route. Also a big thank you Shrek and Chocolate Muffins for keeping a 2 year old happy and entertained for most of the morning. It was great riding with several old buddies of mine that I haven't had the privilege of riding with in a long time. Educating them of what I am doing and what it was for was also a great feeling. Thanks Chris, Dave, Pat and Ben. The event ended without a hitch. No flat and accidents to report which is fantastic news. Congratulations to the winners of the poker run. Our very own Fred and Chintan won with the worst hands. John C from was the QMDC winner. A San Diego Cycling club rider wont the grand prize. All the riders were deserving of the prizes. Thank you all again for coming out and supporting CAF and the radio group.
