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 here https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/170812-black-hills-roundup-ii-27-june-1-july-2-0-1-8/ 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,

The Black Hills National Forest has many Motorized Use Trails - you can't ride all of these in a week https://www.fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsinternet/cs/detail/!ut/p/z1/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfIjo8zijQwgwNHCwN_DI8zPyBcqYKAfjlVBmA9cQRQx-g1wAEci9eNREIXf-HD9KKxWIPuAkBkFuaGhEQaZjgCVqf1Y/dz/d5/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/?position=Feature*&pname=Black%20Hills%20National%20Forest-%20Maps%20&navtype=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&ss=110203&navid=360000000000000&ttype=detail&cid=STELPRDB5203036

Campers: 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. https://www.spearfish...servations.html Check out their website 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.
