High Plains Poker Run

There is a great history of motorcycles and who rides them in the history of Colorado. This event will celebrate this by providing areas that motorcyclist can obtain a playing card to make a winning hand. These sites will be set up along the I-70 Corridor east of Watkins. This is our fifth year sponsoring the run and the organization that benefits is the Combat Hero Bike Build. A disabled veteran was awarded a motorcycle especially tuned for her disability in July, 2025. In 1927 in Denver, a small motorcycle dealership opened marking the beginning of what would become a legendary presence in the region's motorcycling community, Harry's Motors, founded by Harry Targaris. It was the beginning of a family legacy, a hub for enthusiasts and a driving force behind the growth of motorcycling in Colorado. While this gives a look into when Harry's Motors started, we wanted an organization that would cater to the motorcycle crowd and chose "Combat Hero Bike Build". This organization provides motorcycles to disabled veterans. The I-70 Corridor Chamber of Commerce voted on the High Plains Poker Run and the Combat Hero Bike Build to tie into the motorcycles that are driven on Colorado roads.
