The rules for this ride are very simple. First you sign up at the booth located at the Waterloo Horsemen's Campground, pay a $5.00 donation, receive a map of the trails with five predetermined spots highlighted that mark where containers filled with different colored plastic straw pieces are located. Then you ride out and find all of the containers take a piece of straw from each one and return to camp. Once there, you will turn in your pieces of straw and from a deck of cards draw, at random, five cards. The best three hands will win cash. The amount won is determined by how many people play. The payout is 50% of the entry fees go to the club, 30% goes to the first best hand and 20% goes to the second best hand drawn.
