Some past Sturgis Trips

Two Weeks away!

Less than two weeks away, we are getting excited to head on a 2,500 mile round trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, and the famous Sturgis Bike Rally. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the rally.

We have made a few route changes. Everyone in the group is in consensus of leaving one day early from the Black Hills, and take 3 days heading back to Salt Lake City, over the Bear Tooth Highway in Montana and down through Yellowstone Park.

Should be a great ride!

A month away!

We are just a month away from our Sturgis Trip. Looks like we'll have 7 to 10 in our group this year.

We will be leaving Thursday, Aug 5th, traveling 450 miles to the Big Horn National Forest to spend the first night, and then on into Sturgis. We like staying outside of Sturgis, away from the crowds and noise,  at a nice quiet Black Hills National Forest campground.

We'll be there 4 nights and then head back home through Wyoming. You are welcome to visit this blog each day of our trip, experiencing with us, the sites and stories or our adventure.
