In the past, a few of the early birds ride together--
What time might those early birds be arriving at the campgrounds, with an intention to ride?
Will there be any kind of group ride originating on the 11th?
If so, please post an approx. start time, etc. if there are any thought of 'scouting' etc.
Otherwise, we will be a late-e-e-e afternoon show on Thursday...and ride N. Hills Thursday morning as well, etc.

I will be sponsoring a first time Dakota Dual Sport Rider--
My college comrade, (and fellow Marine) Armando is flying in from Baltimore on Tuesday evening;
we will be riding N. Hills on Wednesday (out of Sturgis, Exit 32) if anyone cares to join us...
probably be a 9ish start time, ride about 6-7 hours.
=Red Cutt, Camp Five, Bull Dog Canyon, Piedmont Trail for starters.  It will include many of the 8xxx trails (=permit trails), and other interconnecting trails.

Interested?
send me a note at
mjearl4@gmail.com  or 605.870.0012
if you would like an extra day of riding in the N. Hills prior to the official Fall Classic.

Lonesome Dave-or anyone else,
Do you have any coordinates on Horse Thief Cave?
and the other small, barred cave near Horse Thief Cave?

Horse Thief Cave is also known as Ice Cave.  However, there is also an Ice Cave near Jewel cave to the south.  I'm not sure which name is right, the old maps label it as Ice cave.  But, the Horse Thief name makes sense.  Horse thief's would put the stolen horses in the open top cavern and block the entrance/exit with branches.  They'd go find more horses while the others waited.

What would you think would be the earliest group-ride departure time on Friday?
Trying to blend multiple schedules together....
I may be 'herding cats' on Thursday which will require a Friday morning arrival for me.

revmaaatin.  if not herding cats, fighting a helmet fire. cough.

[Bogus Jim]

What would you think would be the earliest group-ride departure time on Friday?

9-10am would be my guess, but sometimes small groups (2-4) leave earlier.

I'll be riding a 990 ... Will I be out of place? Are most people going to be on WRR's and samller dual sports?

[Lonesome Dave]

BCB1080, most bikes are smaller. But this past spring/summer rally we probably had more KLR's than anything else.  You shouldn't have any major problems except you'll be more tired by the end of the day!  Be sure and bring extra sleeping bag or really warm one.....running in the 40s at night.

[Wacked]

I'll be rolling out Friday am - actually, until yesterday, I forgot that I had taken friday off!  Sweet!

Got a new rear tire on order.  I'm ready to roll
