The 2014 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 19, 20, & 21, 2013.  You can arrive anytime after noon on Thursday, June 19, departing on Sunday, June 22. 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.  ;-)  Be aware that there is very spotty cell phone coverage at the campground (can be a good thing), but if you ride to the top of the hill (2 minutes away) most will get a good signal.    Note:  The cell signal in the campground was much improved last June, if memory serves.

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 2/19/14 all of the cabins, guest rooms, and 1 rental RV are available.

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, The Yeti, 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.

We could brew up another big batch of sloppy joes if you want, just let us know which day would be best. It was kinda nice to have something to reheat real quick for lunches and such, last time we made them it seemed to be pretty handy. Let me know.

Hey stranger!

[greatbuffalo]

Mike, good to hear from you. Hope you are well also.

[JcodyJ]

I'm new to the site. I live in mobridge sd right now, but I will be moving to deadwood for work in May. I ride a plated xr600 and although I won't need to camp I'd love to ride along!

[Lonesome Dave]

Welcome JcodyJ, go over to the new members thread and introduce yourself.  Love to have you there.  Great group of people here.  LD

[greatbuffalo]

JcodyJ, what Dave said. Welcome. And like he said, take a stroll over to the new member introduction thread and tell us a little bit about yourself. I must say that I'm pretty jealous of you making the move to the Hills.

Looking forward to riding with you.
