Default Badlands loop

Just a heads up for those of you that are headed to sturgis this year and were planning on doing the badlands np loop. Was out there today and a large section of it is under construction with lots of loose gravel and dust. It's not impassable but your bike will definitely need a bath after riding it.

Dont let it stop you from doing the loop. Did it on sunday and it wasnt too bad . Definetly not bad enough to pass on the ride. Awesome scenery.
