The 75 mile ride from Spearfish down to Rapid City was absolutely beautiful. We had 4000 feet of mostly gradual climbing before we got to lunch. Along the way we rode along by streams and rivers through forests surrounded by incredible rock formations that even included some mountain goats! We also passed through several small mining towns, by some beautiful ranches and custom homes that were for all intents and purposes in the wilderness.🤠

Cheers
