STURGIS, SD 🚲
June 2, 2019: Deadman Trail System | STURGIS, SD 🚲
This was a trail our new friend Perry was designing / cleaning up / laying out. I was hurting quite a bit so the initial climb at the start wasn’t the most fun.. however we soon hit what was left of snow, mud and eventually some thunderstorms. This was so cool to see the process of caring for the trails.. moving branches.. carefully making pathways, little yard work and ‘scaping the way. After the ride we grabbed a couple pints at a brewery in Sturgis.. so interesting to finally see where my family friends had come for years on Harleys. Can’t wait to come back and see the new trails in action!
climb: 2547ft | distance: 18.1 mi
CATHEDRAL SPIRES
June 2, 2019: CATHEDRAL SPIRES | Sylvan Lake, SD 👟
This was tight. Didn’t plan either stop to Sylvan Lake or Cathedral Spires but a few great gems that made driving through to see Mount Rushmore (cool, but could see it just as good from the car) even more worth it!
climb: 515 ft | distance: 1.93 mi
TOTAL climb: 2547 + 515 = 3062 ft | distance: 18.1+ 1.93 = 20 mi
