THINGS TO DO:

Mark your Calendar now!

2. Join us for one of our most celebrated events supporting the Kids Outdoor Odyssey Camp for children from Onslow and Carteret Counties. The camp is part of the Semper Fi & America’s Fund and offers support and resources geared to the needs of children of service members suffering from catastrophic injuries and life-threatening illnesses.
3. Find your bicycle and get out the decorations (anything Parrot Head cause “we’re still here”)

Last year, we had three hundred dressed up bikes with crazy riders riding the paths and sidewalks to our 7 bar stops and drawing a poker card from our card sharks at each stop. The race will not officially begin until 2 pm from the E-Club and will end promptly at 5 pm. Riders must return to the E-Club and Playing cards must be turned in at the gate entrance no later than 5:30 pm.

There are 3 winning hands that will pay out $300 to Best Hand, $200 to 2^nd Best Hand, and $100 to 3^rd Best Hand! Also, a prize will be drawn for someone from the “Loser’s Box!” Winners will be announced shortly after 5:30 pm. But stay for the after-party! Matt at the E-Club will be serving free food, live music and we will be throwing out bling, offering a 50/50 raffle, door prizes, and who knows what else?

Are you ready to “Party With a Purpose?” It all begins on August 7, with $20.00 Fee and Registration at the E-Club at 11:30 a.m. and ends at 1:45 (CUT OFF). Don’t be late! During the registration period, Event T-shirts will be sold for $10 (limited amount) and 50/50 raffle tickets will be available then and throughout the run. Make the event even more spectacular by  dressing yourself and/or your bike according to one of the three themes:  PHINS, PIRATES, & PARROTS. Although there will be no contest this year, pholks will be acknowledged and celebrated throughout the event for their innovative and thrown together ideas! At 2 p.m, walk, crawl, or ride, to 7 designated locations where card sharks await with a poker card drawing and a $5 mulligan to help you obtain a winning poker hand paying 1st $300, 2nd $200 and 3rd $100 cash!  Benefits will go to SEMPER FI & AMERICAN FUND, specifically for the Kid’s Outdoor Odyssey Camp.

Our participating stops are offering special drinks and cash bars this year! Let’s reward them with tips and patience! Thanks to Trading Post, Beach Bums, Fish Hut, Snapperz, Flipperz, Gaffer’s and The Growler!  PHINS UP!
