Glen Neuenschwander, given the nickname "Nooner" when he served aboard the USS Flasher SSN 613, was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. Nooner founded EC Riders, a group of local motorcycle enthusiasts known for its many local fund raising events, in 1995. EC Riders has since blossomed to over 100 members. Nooner's EC Riders' first philanthropic event was the Abbi Run to benefit a local disabled girl (Abbi). Nooner also organized a fund raiser for Jeff Wolcott from Big O Tires; who recently died from Leukemia. He has also been involved in countless other clubs and fund raising "runs."
Riders in the run will be given route instructions and an entry card. At each stop along the route Riders will collect a playing card (or facsimile); at the end of the run, the Riders with the highest poker hand will win a cash prize.
The Poker Run is open to all vehicles, not just motorcycles.
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Stagecoach in Franktown.
The last bike/vehicle to leave for the ride will be at 10:00 a.m.

There will be a Barbecue at the AG Building about 1:00 p.m. until the food runs out!
There will also be a Silent Auction with all proceeds going to Glen "Nooner" Neuenschwander.
