| First of all…Who named this ride? OK then, let's do something different. There will be a poker draw
at different stops, so let's see who gets "lucky". The event will be at Grand Lake. It's called The Fall Folk Festival. It will be held at the Town Park. We will spend several hours there, have lunch, then finish the ride by going through Rocky Mountain National Park. |

into the Rocky Mountain National Park. Be sure to gas before leaving. Card Draw when we leave. According to the Rocky Mountain National Park web site, it has motorcycles at $10 per person. You can buy an Annual Park Pass for $35. We will stop somewhere along the way through the park for picture taking. Card Draw in the park. |

| Leaving the park, through Estes Park, we will turn south on SR-7. - Take SR-72 south to Nederland. In Nederland, we will stop for a quick break, gas as needed. We will also do a final Card Draw. Good luck! |
