On Saturday, April 5, 2025 the Southern Trailriders Association teamed up with HOPE Project, Inc. to have our Second Annual Poker Ride and Obstacle Challenge at the beautiful Manos Family Farm in Chattahoochee, FL. We had 34 riders, and over 25 volunteers, participate. Riders were met with fun “Wild West” themed obstacles along the 4.5 mile course. From “roping” steer and hanging their laundry, to crossing the raging Blue Tarp River and dragging logs, our riders met the obstacles with enthusiasm. Cooper Whiddon, Gayle Spelman, River Spencer, Aurelia Dolin, and Alberta Chris Pesavento were our High Point Winners for the event scoring a perfect 25! Brian Copeland won the poker hand with a full house! We gave away over $5500 in prizes from our amazing sponsors. Most importantly, STA raised $3500 for HOPE Project, Inc. Thank you all for your support and participation in making this year’s benefit ride a huge success!
