I think Brad will be along shortly to post all the rides, but if you are interested in single track I will be leaving the Sugar Shack at 9:30 both Friday and Saturday. (could be talked into Sunday too?). The plan for Friday is the nice easy stuff S. of Sugar Shack, then up to Riley Hill, then Nemo via 8575. Plenty of places to bail out along the way if you only want to do part of the day. Should all be relatively easy. Then on Saturday we will ride some of the more challenging stuff for those who are into that sort of thing.

**contrary to campfire rumors this is not some sadistic death ride. Nobody has ever been seriously injured, left for dead, disappeared, or had a permanent psychological disability from this ride. We will adjust to whatever speed everyone is comfortable with and when you've had enough we will get you to a road within 10 minutes. No reason not to give it a try.. I will call it the peace love and happiness single track ride.....

WOW,  Brad that is some amazing organization!  I need to find some of the organizational skills and knowledge to get something like this put together for the July Tenere / adventure bike rally.   

The motorcycle school is killing me this spring with rider coaches retiring and one quiting because of heat exhaustion every time it gets hot.   I'm just going out to get last years fall rally dirt washed off the Beta, and ready for some TLC, fresh fluids and tires.  The Italian princes hasn't even been out of the garage yet this year.      :'( :'( :'(

I can't wait to see everybody!

Tim - We do have an easy single track scheduled for Saturday.  Kyle will be leading it and promised to keep it low key.  It snakes down Experimental Forest and on the West side of Mystic

Hello Dakota Dual Sport! Joined at the request of a guy named Jerry who rides a Kawasaki green Suzuki DR400. I am 1 of the two guys you talked to across from the Sugar Shack on Friday. So I looked up the site and registered. If Jerry reads this want you to know we stopped by your camp to look at the Kawasaki on the trailer. Great looking bike! May still want to buy it off you if your interested. I might have a buyer. Did not spend any time looking at your ebike though.

I wanted to extend a sincere thank you to the Dakota Dual Sport Riders. I brought my sons last year and had a wonderful time with Brad as an EXCELENT Ride leader. My wife was a weeee bit jealous of the time we had. SO. I brought her this year and sent the kids to church camp. My wife does great on gravel roads and "Midwest two track" but had never been on something like the back side of Cement Ridge. Well she was certainly not fast, but she pulled up her britches and rode it and maybe hit the ground but she got back up and she built skills, and learned from one of the best group of guys we have had the pleasure of riding with. Paul, Nathaniel, Derek, and Joel, I believe were the guys names that we rode with. These guys are true gentlemen! They represent the best that South Dakota has to offer in my opinion and that is great people. (Trails are pretty cool too) These guys were patient with Mackenzie and were just a crack up to listen to on the communicators and I want to shout out a HUGE thank you. It is hard to get the ladies to ride with us, but with guys like these, I can tell you she had fun and felt safe. SO there it is guys. Thank you. If you ever want to ride Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma the places I know well. You know who to call I will show you the best I can offer.
There is no excuse for what I am about to do.
