Ripper4 - The Triple Crown Poker Rip

To honour that which is Shore we are bringing on the infamous, heralded, crowning glory of the North Shore. Let me introduce you to the "Triple Crown". Yes! Three Mountains in one day.

This year's final Ripper is a first. It's called the Triple Crown and it's a poker ride. You'll get cards at certain points on Seymour, Fromme and Cypress (all in one day of course) and then you'll bring your cards to Dizzy cycles to play some poker. Best hand wins. You can do the Triple Crown however you like. We've heard talk of road bikes and shuttles and frankly we don't care how you get around (although there will be prizes and recognition for the purists to make that all worthwhile). Rippers are about participation and about supporting the nsmbA. You can even do it as a team of three! However you want to Rip just click her to register online.

Cut off times
We will be setting cut off times for each station but dont worry you will still be in the game as long as you finish at Dizzy Cycles. Cut offs will be outlined in the riders map kits.

The event will begin at 9:00am but we suggest that participants arrive at the Old Buck parking lot
at 8:15 to collect maps, rider numbers, and last minute instructions.
We have an incrediable amount of Loot(prizes) including a grand prize of Magura Marta SL hydralic disks for the best Poker hand!

The after party will be at Dizzy cycles in North Vancouver and will be the wind up for the four events. Past participants are invited to come to this party as well.

Show your support for the NSMBA and enter this first time event. if the task of three mountains in one day is too daunting call a couple friends and set up a team or gather some friends and Shuttle your way around the shore.
may the best hand win !
