Whether you're a motorcycle enthusiast, animal lover, or simply looking for a fun day out, this exciting event combines a scenic ride around Connecticut, great food, prizes, and the opportunity to support local animals in need.
Riders will travel to designated stops throughout the 97 mile route, collecting playing cards along the way. At the final stop, participants will reveal their poker hands for a chance to win prizes.
