A batch of my friends in the Twin Cities just got back from the Trans American Adventure Trail. They've alwo ridden the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail. Which makes me wonder, has anyone strung together a route across SD via fence row, minimum maintenance road and cowtrail? Or do we need to assign Hank this task?
It looks like the TWAT would be pretty fun to ride...
I think it would be pretty cool if someone came up with a Dakota adventure trail. Someone with alot more time than me would have to do it.
Look at bigdogadventures.com for a good chrnicle of the TWAT. Looks like fun. I would like to try a more western trip though. More interesting and different terrain (especially for this Minnesota boy). (Did I just say that?)
At one time (I guess before back operation #2), I was interested in doing the iron butt 1000 mile/24hr ride within SD bounderies. The Adventure trail sounds like a neat challenge... the possibilities! Not to rob this topic, but has anyone done the Custer expedition trail?
I think a trans-Dakota trail would be great. Would make the ride to the BH on the 400 a lot more interesting, thats for sure.
No time on my schedule in the near future though either I'm afraid!

I've done the 1000 in 24 couple times, 1500 in 36hrs once. All while riding through the 66 counties of the State. All 66 counties is a little over 1800 miles. No gravel though :( May have to work on a route this winter ;D

Sorry, but I just couldn't help but giggle at that. ;D
The 66 county in 36 hour ride sounds like something I just GOTTA do.

Attached is a gdb file of the route.
Starting in SF, a SS1000 will put you in Pierre, continue the route to Madison for 1500.
