First Timers - once you are on the Ridernet site you will need to set up a profile. This gives MA all your details for registration and insurance purposes.

Once your profile is set up, then go to Events, click NSW, then scroll down and register for the Come & Try Enduro. No license is required under this permit.

Note: You can only enter a Come & Try day once, as MNSW make this permit available for first-timers only. 

Previous Ridernet Users - if you already have a Ridernet profile from entering previous events you will need to enter under the Enduro Poker Run permit. 

Note this will require a One Event Recreational license @ $36.00, or you can apply for or use your Annual MA license.

Format 

A Poker Run is a self-paced ride on a marked out enduro loop. At the end of each loop you will be shown a random playing card. 

Complete 5 loops to make your Poker hand, the best hand wins. This is not a race, the loops are not timed, you just ride to finish.

After you've received your 5 cards you are still free to continue riding the marked loops. 

Prizes

Prizes have been generously donated by our Event Sponsors and will be on display and awarded to the best Poker hands.

The Come & Try loop is fully marked with red arrows, and will take approx. 20-25 minutes for a novice to complete at an easy pace. The Poker Run loop is fully marked with blue and black arrows, and will take approx 30-40 minutes for a competent rider to complete at a reasonable pace. All loops open to all riders!

Both loops will receive a playing card after each lap.
