Have a great trip. Went one year for the once in a life time ride and ended up back 4 other times. Enjoy it and ride safe.

I'm in Hill City now, was out riding all day. The weather has cooled down a bit tonite but it's gonna warm up again next week. Was in the badlands today and it was over 100 degrees, tomorrow I'm headed to Red Lodge where it's going down in the 30's at nite. Glad I packed my heated liner for the ride over Beartooth Pass and the Chief Joseph highway then headed back to the Black Hills on Friday

Anyone going I80 west of Des Moines on the way to I29, you have to stop at the Rusty Duck in Dexter, IA. Best food you'll find. Burger, homie fries and a beer...best damn thing I've ever had. Just a couple miles off I80 about 20 miles west of Des Moines.

Safe trip to everyone, fyi, lots of construction on I80 in Nebraska, especially west bound between Lincoln and Grand Island, NE.
