First night then is in Sioux Falls, SD. My second night will most likely be in the Black hills/Rapid city area, so I can ride around that area more. The third day will be a little more of that area in the A.M. then onto Buffalo/Sheridan Area for the night. Friday, is the short trip to into Red Lodge. Thats the general plan as of tonight anyway.

First day is the longest at 550 to 600 miles
Second day is shorter at about 350 miles
Third day is 210, plus sight seeing.
Fourth day is 210 into Red Lodge

Anyone In the black hills next week, I work 9 to 5 monday thru thursday, gimmie a call we can do custer, black hills, etc. there is a road that goes from Mount Rushmore that has 3 single car (honk first to make sure no head on collision) tunnels, 3 pigtails and takes you to custer state park. Gimmie a /msg and I will give you my cell phone. have a 1 car garage and hand tools, but if you get into to much trouble, I know a first rate mechanic that works for less than he's worth. I know the local landscape pretty well.
