5th Annual “Over the Hill” Poker Run Submitted by VT Journal on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 9:51am SPRINGFIELD, VT -The River Valley Ridge Riders sponsored their 5th Annual “Over the Hill” poker run Saturday, May 26. They started the ride at Springfield Health and Rehab at 9:30 a.m. with coffee and donuts. The ride is not a fundraiser. It is to give the seniors a chance to see the motorcycles and reminisce about their adventures thru a lifetime. The first stop was the Gill Home where patients got to vote for their favorite motorcycle. While there senior Laval (Jim) Remy hopped on a bike owned by Tim Johnson. Everyone enjoyed a BBQ. After shouts of good cheer to the residents, the bikers proceeded to ride to Mt. Ascutney Hospital. There they were greeted by a happy group sitting in the shade on a sunny day. Miller Bibens was among the crowd of residents. He told great stories of his life as a slaughterhouse owner in Baltimore, VT. Glenn and Shirley Richardson gave Miller a seat on their motorcycle. Miller, who will be 91 years old in September, slaughtered for Glenn years ago. Again the RVRR and friends said their goodbyes and headed for their final destination, Cedar Manor in Windsor. There the residents were waiting anxiously to see the bikes and talk with the riders. The poker winner and the “Guess the Mileage” winners were announced. Then the winner of the 50/50 was announced. The votes for the “Best Bike Peoples Choice” were tallied and the winners received their trophy amid applause and cheers. The winners were Glen and Shirley Richardson riding a Honda Trike.
