The SDMB Poker Ride is one of those events that captures what the Tucson mountain bike community is all about. Expect a who’s who of the local MTB scene, plenty of laughs, libations along the route, and a massive pile of prizes. Ride from station to station collecting cards, build your best poker hand, and see what you take home. With enough prizes that practically everyone walks away with something, this one is much more about community and fun than finishing times.

If you ride mountain bikes and want to become part of the Tucson mountain bike community, this is one of those rides you need to experience.

But perhaps you’re a runner. You’re welcome too. Come out and make the mountain bikers question their life choices as you fly past them on the climbs and technical sections.

Bikes, trails, friends, libations, questionable poker skills, and a whole lot of Tucson MTB culture.
