I hoped we’d have them by now. Noel is working on them and I should have them any day now. We’re going off Trip’s rides with a few adjustments.

If we are doing the badlands loop, which I would think we would. I will have to adjust my ride in as I am going to come in thru that area. That way I can see as much of this area as possible.
Just checking out sections on google earth street view, it looks awesome.

I like this, the part going down to Rockyford(2) and Redshirt (40) looks a lot more scenic than going back 44.

I would actually like to do it like this. But 31 miles of it are dirt roads. It does look like nice and smooth dirt.

I am looking forward to welcoming those attending the SC/NC Rally here in the Black Hills. I have been planning rides for the Rally and have found it difficult because we have so many options here. I am sticking with the basic four; Badlands, Devil’s Tower, Mt. Rushmore, and a combination of the Wild Life Loop – Iron Mountain Road – Needles Highway.
I know some of you will want to visit Sturgis (with a very good motorcycle museum) and Deadwood. I will have routes for that also. I would like to know of the amount of interest in visiting the Mount Rushmore Memorial in the evening. There is a good restaurant, museum, gift shop, and sculptors studio with his scale model of the mountain. At dusk there is a talk and video about the sculpture followed by lighting of the faces. Then any military people are honored by being asked to participate in lowering the flag at the amphitheatre. It can be quite moving for those taking part. We could arrive late in the day to eat dinner, walk the boardwalk trail at the base of the mountain for unique views of the faces and take in all aspects of the memorial. Also, if any of you want to see other routes you might not have seen in the past or are arriving early or staying longer please contact me and I will be glad to help with ride plans. Keep watching this space, more coming soon. Noel Burke (Badger)

Thanks Noel, I would be interested in going in the evening.
But I would want to arrive early enough to see the monument in the daylight. Also, I would like to make GPS routes for the rides. If you intend to do so that would be great. If not can you post a map or give directions for the rides so I can make them?

+1 one on an evening at Mt. Rushmore, but arriving early enough to see it by daylight.
Some of the rides posted earlier look like they would be short enough to get both in on the same day. Maybe even combine one of them with this to make a single day trip? |

I have an all day ride that would allow some Northern Hills stops. Leave Custer at 9:30 am to Newcastle, Wy From Newcastle to Cheyenne Crossing(south entrance to Spearfish Canyon Spearfish Canyon to Spearfish Spearfish via I-90 to Deadwood Stop at Deadwood for 1+ hour for lunch and tourist stuff Leave Deadwood for Sturgis and Motorcycle museum (1+ hours)for those interested. Leave Sturgis via Vanocker Canyon to Nemo Nemo road back to 385 south toward Custer with a stop at Pactola and maybe other stops at Hill City. This would be a nice scenic ride.

Nice to hear from someone else in SD. Your ride suggestion is a nice ride with good variety. None of the other rides pick up Hell's Canyon (from 4 corners to Cheyenne Crossing)
am looking forward to seeing you at the Rally. Noel Burke -- Badger
