Post by: Hank on February 11, 2015, 07:56:06 PM
The 2015 Dakota Dual Sport Riders June rally will once again be held in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota!  Camping will be at the Fish 'n Fry campground just south of Deadwood, SD: http://www.fishnfry.com/

Location is here:

We will be staying on the Hillside Loop once again.

Dates are June 18, 19, & 20, 2015.  You can arrive anytime after noon on Thursday, June 18, departing on Sunday, June 21. Weather should be dry and warm - avg high 78, avg low 52.  BUT, this is South Dakota...if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute.  ;-)  Cell service has been OK in the campground the last couple years, and its only 2 miles to the top of Strawberry Mountain if you do have trouble.

Entry Fee: FREE!
Camping: Tents - $8 per person/night, RVs/Campers - $21 per night.  You will pay the campground when you arrive, no pre-payment required. I will reserve all tent sites from entries on this sign-up thread. FnF have cabins available as well, but you will need to reserve those yourself by calling Gary or Michelle. Also please call and reserve RV sites on your own.  Make sure you tell them you are with DDSR to get the special discount!

Fish 'n Fry phone number:   (605) 578-2150

As of 3/1/15, some of the cabins are taken, call soon if you want a cabin or RV.

We will have enough room for plenty of tents.  RV sites near the tent sites are at a premium and need to be reserved as far in advance as possible, although there will be plenty of RV spots available away from "ground zero".

The rally is open to any and all skill levels of riders with any motorcycle that is street legal in SD (doesn't take much: headlight, taillight & license plate is about it).  All attempts will be made to keep the amount of pavement on our rides to a minimum, but it is a necessary evil in the Black Hills to get from one trail to another sometimes.

Rides can range from gravel/easy fire roads to rocks to single track to really gnarly rocks & single track, hillclimbs, etc.  There will be something for everybody!

The Fish 'n Fry campground (FnF) has full showers (coin operated, bring a couple of quarters if you don't want to smell like a dirty biker!), real bathrooms (with sinks & mirrors!), a general store (with beer), a small restaurant (with beer on tap!) and a grill and shelter we can use if it rains. 24hr gas station/convenience store right across the street, and Deadwood is only 10 minutes away. There are picnic tables, but if you want a guaranteed seat by the fire you better bring your own.

Electricity is available to charge cell phones, iPods, etc., however it is outside, so use at your own risk!

Firewood from outside the campground is not permitted (sometimes an exception is made for us DDSR folks, though).
The FnF has bundles of wood for $X.

Limited food will be provided, but plan on fending for yourself during the day.
- Organized food TBA


Cars, trucks & bike trailers will have room to park, but could be a ways away from your campsite.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

DISCLAIMER:
Anyone attending this event, does so at their own risk. Hank, Great Buffalo, Lonesome Dave, any other DDSR member, the FnF campground or ANYONE BESIDES YOU will not be held responsible for injury to yourself, your bike or gear! Now, let's get out and RIDE THE HILLS!!  P.S. No helicopters allowed!  :-)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FISHING: Fishing is allowed along the creek running into and out of their little stock pond at FnF, and a fishing license is not required.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

PERMITS: Don't forget, permits are now required to ride off-road (on trails designated 'TR' on the new MVU Map) in the Black Hills National Forest. Click the link about halfway down this page on the right-hand side (Application: Annual Motorized Trail Permit):

I (Al) and my wife to be (Toni) live in Deadwood. Toni is the owner operator of the Pumphouse Coffe and Deli/Mindblown Studio in Deadwood. She is a hot glass blower and summer time being tourist time keeps us busy. If we find the time we'll try to meet some of you folks and do a bit of riding. We just bought her KLR last week so we're both noobs but we're lucky enough to live here! ;)

Post by: Chaz925 on May 21, 2015, 11:09:43 PM
I am planning to make it to the ride in June. I have a few questions.  Maybe some of you can help.
1. Do we NEED to reserve a spot?  I don't really know how many people / tents there will be for sure yet but it will be at least three up to maybe 6 tents/people.
2. Can we put a few tents on one spot? Do the spots have power?
3. We will have all levels of riders in our group from pretty green to a couple of guys that will want to get into more difficult terrain. Are there locals that can let us know what we are getting into? I lived in the hills a few years but never rode off road on the trails.
4. We are riding our bikes from grand forks, nd. Leaving Thursday evening and arriving fri afternoon. Are the rides planned before the day or does everyone just kind of freelance each day?
5. where do we get the sticker for the trails? Can we buy one once we get there?
That's it for now. We are pretty excited, and can't wait to get there.
Title: Re: June 2015 Sign up
Post by: greatbuffalo on May 22, 2015, 01:59:29 AM
Chaz,

If you are tenting you will NOT need a reservation. We have a large area that all the tents are and you just kinda find a spot. The cost is 8 bucks a tent I think. There is power spread out over that area so you'll be able to plug in somewhere.

There are riders of all experience levels. In the morning when we are planning the day, we let folks know what kind of terrain that will be encountered over the ride. Most of our larger group rides are pretty easy going and no one is left behind. There will be a ride for everyone.

Rides are usually planned by our ride leaders ahead of time but they are always subject to change, so the rides fpr the day are usually discussed over breakfast. We are a group that is never in a hurry to get out riding at sun-up. We usually take our time. We are a very loosely organised group.

Trail stickers can be bought on line before the event. Go to the Black Hills Nat Forest website and follow the links. You can also buy trail permits just outside of Rapid City on Hwy 16 south of town at the Nat Forest office. They can also be found at the Lake Pactola Visitor's center which is maybe 10 miles south of the Campground. That being said you are better off to get them as soon as you get into the area instead of waiting till the morning ride.

Hope this answers your questions. Any erroneous info on my part will be corrected by someone who is smarter than me.

Should be a great time.

Put me down for 3 nights in a tent gentlemen.  Thusday, Friday & Saturday nights.  I might bring my son on one or two of those nights so we can do some fishing.

I'm a Black Hills resident and I know the eastern hills very well but I'm not really familiar with the Bearlodge and Northern Hills districts.  I'm going to trailer my 2 stroke trail bike and my adventure bike and just go with the flow for the day.

His bike isn't plated so we're most likely single track riding all weekend but I'll bring my GS just in case we feel like doing a slow ride or two.

One more quick question, will our cars be parked near our tents (Blue & Yellow spots on the map) or is there a parking lot we need to use instead?

Post by: Lonesome Dave on June 09, 2015, 01:40:00 PM
Depending on the rain soak grounds, usually yes.  Trailers, sometimes.  If there's no room for a trailer it can be park on the edge of their property (inside the fence).

Post by: greatbuffalo on June 16, 2015, 12:32:39 PM
Mitch, not sure what time you plan to show up Friday morning but we usually don't get a very early start. As for GPS tracks, we're a pretty disorganized bunch so they may be few or none existent. I think your question is actually if you get there after we leave. Cell service is spotty at best. If you call the FNF campground they can get a message to us.

Not sure if that answers your questions........ ???

Maybe someone else could help with a better answer.

Cell coverage was better last year, they got a booster.   My number is 6O5-88l-8O92.. you can call me or text me, but as of now I have no idea what we have planned  :evil

I'm sure some of use will hit the Camp 5 area for sure one day.  That might make a good early Friday run.

I failed to get permits in advance this year.   Its looking like i have 2 options, detour to Rapid and pick them up there (adds about an hour), or drop the trailer and run to Pactola?  Anything closer?

My preferred route is 34 into Sturgis.

if you are on 34 take new underwood road to New underwood and then I-90 to rapid, adds very little time.. Or the online option.

Great rally everybody.  It never ceases to amaze me when we get that many people together and everybody is so nice.   Good times as always.

Special thanks to GB and crew for allowing us to relocate to higher ground.

A fun ride but Dave was cracking the whip and wouldn't let anybody order food at Mt. Meadows.  Except for drdude (mike), he was pretty quick on the draw and managed to order and eat half a burger before Dave kicked him out of the restaurant.   ;D

Hi guys, it's been awhile....   We hosted a big party last weekend so couldn't make it, but I'm retired now so I plan on making it up to your Hills a lot more..

For my retirement I wanted an electric starter on my XR400 but somehow the new starter came attached to a plated '09 KTM 450 XCW, so now I have that to choose from in addition to my 650 XCountry.  Damn that thing is a rocket?  (wanna race? Gerry?)  Moot point but for the Fall rally I'll need to decide which one to bring.  What's that date again????   

Also another reminder for those interested there is the Moose Run Dual Sport rally the first weekend in August, held in Walden, CO about the closest Colorado mountains to the Black Hills you can find.  I plan on being there.  They have A B and C loops, A is single track dirt bikes, B is mid size adventure dual sport (2WD and 4WD dirt), and C is road bikes (pavement) all do amazing loops with GPS tracks and routes to hand out.  In particular the A single track loops were made by dirt bikers FOR dirt bikes so if you're into that you will love it. It is a small rally maybe a little bigger than DDSR ones.  Keep it in mind. 

Sportfaller, don't you live near there now - are you going?

Then the rains and hails came along and ruined a perfectly good day for all of the tent campers, not quite as bad has Hank's, but bad enough to send us into Rapid for the night

Overall, the weather during the day could not have been better, the trails were fun and the company was fantastic, thanks for an awesome Spring Rally 2015
