Those hard-working folks at CMBA (Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance) are working for Calgary area riders once again and setting up this fun-filled event.

FREE for CMBA members. For non-members, $20 buys a membership and this poker ride is free. (You must be a CMBA member or become a CMBA member to ride in this event). CMBA memberships can be obtained online here

A challenging and fun course through some of the most challenging trails Calgary has to offer. The “challenge loop” with include 5 card stops and plenty of challenging single track. The “Advanced loop” will incorporate lung busting hill climbs, advanced technical trails, 1 extra card stop in almost 20 km of sweet single-track. Prizes will be awarded based on your poker hand when you cross the finish line.
