Keep me posted.Any one be interested in doing this on Sunday Aug 21, it would give us time to set it up with the ranges. More importantly I am off, lol.
Poker runs like this ALWAYS take off early in the morning. No way you could get to 4 or 5 destinations and do everything required if you started at 2:00pm. Some ranges close at 5:00 (I know Eagle Creek does).
Usually you gather between 8:00-9:00, sign in, register, have coffee, etc. Kick stands up at 9:30 and off you go.
Well, let's see. I've been riding Harleys all my life (well, 30 years anyway), and I operate ECPR. We can help make this happen, and we'd be honored to be the staging area for the beginning of the ride - and maybe the end-point too. We could arrange to have some refreshments and maybe have a grill fired up.
I've ridden in hundreds of poker runs and there's no reason we couldn't figure out a really fun activity for participants to engage in while at ECPR.
The only thing we'd need to consider is that - while I respect 100% the right of Indiana citizens to open carry (and do so very often myself, including on my Harleys) - we would still have to ask for compliance with ECPR's range rules, which don't allow loaded or holstered firearms on the premises - except on the firing line.
If that doesn't inspire a storm of protest, Eagle Creek would love to be a part of this.

If Guy has ECPR as a start/stop to the event I am in if we have enough staff working at ECPR that day. I don't want to leave the RO's short handed.
I agree with this, I think we should only really "shoot" or whatever game we have decided on at one location. You and I are on the same page time frame wise.
Thanks Guy! I really appreciate all of the help you are willing to offer. I think ECPR would be a great staging location. If we can all agree on this for a staging location, we may be able to plan a route of some sort.
I really love the ideas that are coming in. Keep 'em coming, I don't want to take all of the credit for this!
