Motorcycle Poker Run & Fundraiser

SATURDAY, MAY 12, 2012

Picnic starts at 11:00am
Riders Check-in: 9:00am – 11:00am

On Saturday May 12, 2012, the Raritan Headwaters Association (RHA) will be holding the 10^th Annual Ride for the River- a Motorcycle Poker Run that will highlight the beauty of the Raritan headwaters region. This event is a fixture among motorcycle enthusiasts who have an appreciation for the beauty of our 470 square mile watershed region. We are aiming for over 200 riders this year, plus families and friends to enjoy this exciting day.

Please consider attending and supporting this event! Ride for the River is a major fundraising event for us this year. Your support is crucial in ensuring that RHA’s valuable programs continue to protect our water resources and the communities and ecosystems that depend on them. This watershed is the source of drinking water for over 1.5 million residents and businesses, as well as a vital scenic, recreational and natural resource. For more than 52 years we have provided environmental education, community well testing, stream monitoring and research and open space preservation.

The Ride for the River Poker Run starts with bagels and coffee at the Schooley’s Mountain County Park, 91 East Springtown Road, in Long Valley, Washington Township. Riders will travel 55 miles through the watershed and then return to Schooley’s Mountain County Park for a picnic. Families and friends are invited to attend also, to enjoy the great food, vendors and the electric blues music of Greendawg band. There will be prizes for top poker hands and a People’s Choice Bike Show. Sponsorships are available and we encourage our Sponsors to attend as our guests!
