The Roll the Dice Run is an annual rally held in Warwick. Riders can camp at the grounds from Friday with the run taking place on Saturday. Upon arrival riders register for the ride and roll the dice for the first time. Three dice are rolled with the score recorded. If a triple is rolled the score is tripled, eg: three 3’s scores 27.

The main ride then departs at 10.30 am on Saturday for a trip around the local area. There will be two stops during the ride at which everyone rolls the dice again. Upon arrival back at the show grounds everyone rolls the dice for the last time. All scores are added up with the highest total winning $1000.00 cash. There are many other prizes handed out with highest and lowest at each stop and lowest overall scores, hard luck story etc.

Other attractions include trade displays, show and shine, bar and food for all to enjoy all day Saturday with live bands performing into the night.

There was a long weekend coming up and I saw this ad from El Presidento about the above Run in our mag. No-one seemed to be going and no-one seemed to know much about it. So the only one I could muscle together for a good time was good faithful Moose.
