Ikeda Poker Rally 09

DSCF6484
Wow, what a fantastic event. Hats off to Randall & Midori for doing an excellent job!!!! Team Two Queens and a Joker had a great day. We began by riding the closest course first, Crazy Eights and then hitting Royal Flush. We had no problems and hit all 5 check points on the course, or so we thought. Then we headed to the Ikeda Circuit and decided to have a snack break since it was lunch time and almost two hours had past since the start. After our lunch break, we hit the last section of the course and had a blast. We were able to hit all nine check points and get nine cards, we were stoked and we had over 30 minutes left to go!!!! We stopped along the way to take some great pictures, admire the scenery and chat with other participants.

When we checked in, we found out that we misread one of the checkpoints and had to lose a card, bummer but oh well, our brains were in the riding mode, not the thinking mode, ha ha. We ended up with a pair of Aces that just wasn’t going to cut it. The winning team Fast and Furious had four of a kind and won ¥72000!!!! Congratulations to Albert and Mark, being the fastest guys out there and the luckiest!!!! Well done!!!

This event will happen again next year, you don’t want to miss it, mark it on your calendar!!!!! More photo’s here
