JUNE 11
Following a brief tour of Wind Cave the day rolls largely on gravel roads heading north visiting the Custer State Park wildlife refuge, passing by Crazy Horse Monument, and an optional climb up to the Mt Coolidge Fire tower.

If yesterdays ride was hard to beat, this day is the crown jewel. Starting out amongst granite cathedrals on the Needles Parkway, then rolling up to the famed Mount Rushmore, and wrapping up the day catching a sight of an 1800's steam engine rolling by. This day combines touristy gawking with cycling bliss.
JUNE 13

Others will choose for a shorter 40 mile day rolling around badlands national park. Either way everybody will end the day with a trip to the famed Wall Drug for their "free ice water" and a refreshing scoop of ice cream.
