Default Strugis Trip 2017
Sturgis Trip complete. 10 days 9 nights for me. Tent camped 3 if those, lodged it the rest of the time. Total of 3,022 miles rode. Rode though Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming and Minnesota. Got rained on, rode 13 miles on a mud rode( locals say we shouldn't of done that) and countless gravel roads. Visited Mt. Rushmore National Monument, Crazy Horse Monument and Wonderland Caves. Drank many a many beers and best of all got to hang out with some pretty good Jar Heads. Can't wait to do it again, just need a couple of weeks to recover.

Pre-rally is great. Good choice. I don't care to join the zoo during mid-rally again.

Heading out ourselves tomorrow. Won't get to Rapid City until Wed but we hope to get some riding in before the larger crowds after the first weekend of the rally.

This will be our first trip and we're like kids who can't sleep on Christmas Eve.
