Minot is approximately the half way point between Winnipeg and Spearfish…it’s where I figure on spending the night to and from..I wondered if there was anyone to ride with from there..

There will be street bikes there...hopefully at least one from the southeast.

There are some fantastic road rides in the Black Hills and Bighorn Mountains. I’m confident that BigJohn will have information about some.

The hardest decision here is which machine to bring. The paved roads are great and I have ridden them at least 5 times. The dirt Dakal is also calling my name.

Who said you can only bring one bike? Show up on June 13th to ride with Dakota Dual Sport Riders at the Custer Crossing Campground till Sunday the 16th. Maybe we can arrange another Side by Side to wack you and your Dual Sport bike again. Monday the 17th, we start out on the South Dakota Black Hills BDR-X finishing up on Wednesday or early Thursday. Thursday afternoon, we meet up in Spearfish with the FJR hooligans and tear up Spearfish Canyon Road, Iron Mountain road, Needles Highway, and the rest of the fun roads. In the evenings we'll drink and tell lies in the parking lot all evening. How's that for a 11 day riding plan? :stickpoke:
