I volunteered to organize a combined Dual Sport and FJR Event in the Black Hills the last weekend of June 2018.
I will continually edit this first post to keep all pertinent information in one place.
I expect that the weather will be in the 80's and there is always a chance of a thunder shower but June is usually one of our better months as far as weather goes.
The Prairies and Hills should be verdant green
This is a gathering to ride the many wonderful roads and trails we have here in Western SD,
https://southdakotari...ctiveridingmap/,
The Dakota Adventure Loop (DAKAL) https://www.dakotaadventureloop.com/ is available in whole or in part for those that choose to ride off the paved path. Check out this video to get an idea of what the DAKAL entails https://www.crossingdakota.com/
I will post some recommended paved and unpaved ride routes in the future.
YAMAFITTER created these Downloadable link to GPS readable formats available in Drop Box here https://www.dropbox....8XSDMjEkwa?dl=0 for the first Black Hills Roundup.
There are few organized activities save for a Steak Dinner on Saturday night in the City Park, there will be a separate thread for dinner signup. I will have several Kegs of local Craft Beer available at the Steak Dinner for those that purchase the "Beer Option".
I will provide a Chilli or some kind of easy to do and keep hot meal for Thursday evening at Bell's, who knows, there might be a Keg of Canyon Cream Ale available as well.
Motel #1 Bell's Motor Lodge is our home base. https://www.bellsmoto...m/amenities.php
RESERVATIONS call (800) 880-2095 Tell Scott you are with the FJR Group.
Despite being 18 months in advance this will fill up fast.
Motel #2 - All Star Travelers Inn, They have 20+ rooms as https://allstartravelersinn.com/rooms/
Kozy Motel Sold, now hydroponic vegetable growing facility, no this is not Colorado, Oregon, Washington etc....
https://visitspearfis...lsmotelslodges/ Most major chains are represented.
Book now as rates will climb as rooms fill up.
The Black Hills, Spearfish, in particular, is a popular tourist destination.
The City of Spearfish has a great city park with shaded camping by the creek. The campground is almost within crawling distance of Rally HQ (about a 10-minute walk when sober) for those that don't want to imbibe and ride. Check out their website https://www.cityofspearfish.com/departments/city_campground/reservations.php and reservation policy. I don't believe tent campers will have any problems obtaining a site or reservation the weekend of the Black Hills FJR Roundup. There are showers/bathrooms etc etc in the campground.
Updated 11/22/17 to fix broken links etc..
