After the National Rally
Anyone interested in heading to the Black Hills after Estes Park for a few days riding? I am toying with the idea because I do not have to be back to work until July 8th.

I'm planning on going up that direct before the rally. I'm planning on riding from Saturday before to the Sunday after.

Cindy and I are heading up that way after the rally.
I want to see Sturgis , Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial.

I guess seeing Mt. Rushmore would be like looking at your high school yearbook, eh?

Hmmm, this sounds tempting, would make the ride home much more enjoyable. I've been to that area a few times—great roads.

Sounds like fun. But I'm toying with the idea to head west over the mountains to Utah, south to AZ, then east to NM, TX, OK, KS and back up to Iowa. I've been wanting to ride in these states to complete that part of the U.S. I haven't traveled with my bike yet. We'll see what happens!

I would base in Custer rather than Sturgis. Much nicer location.

If I were heading East from the National, I'd ride the Black Hills in a heartbeat. Alas, I'm heading South to Texas.

My plan as of now is to leave Estes Park on Friday,June 28 and ride to and stay in Custer, SD for 3 nights at the Chief Motel, http://www.chiefmotel.com/ leaving on Monday, July 1. I am also looking for a roommate to share the motel expenses, you interested Ray? I am flexible on the motel but not the dates. Any prospective roommate must not snore excessively (you know who you are)
