I spoke with my neighbor at the Rio last night. Apparently the BLM is stepping in and not allowing any type of sanctioned Poker Run at the Rio. The reason they gave was insurance/liability. It used to just be a bunch of friends marking the course/having fun/ and riding/off-roading. However, if the Rio puts it on or their name on it (last poker stop was in the park at the restaurant/bar), insurance has to be added to the cover each participant. I guess it was getting too big??? Sux.
Anyway, he was telling me that nothing could stop someone from marking a course and staging/starting/finishing across the highway (there's a big asphalt area) and handing out cards along the way or when everyone returns. Don't know if this will happen as I am trying to get in touch with the guys that mark the course. I'm still planning on riding plenty but hope there is some sort of run as they are always fun. When I get more info, I'll post.
