Good to see some of you already have your routes planned, now all you got to do is pack!

Trip,

We have two locations we looked at. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I will get some information together and get to you.

Thanks Waterman!

We'll be there!

Looks like St. Louis would be a good meeting point to pickup riders. Especially since it is only 30 miles for me. I'll be waiting. :)

Ells, I forgot to tell you, there is no need to warm up for Custer for me. I have been there every year since 2004. I keep telling myself that I need to find another location to ride to but something fun always comes up to point my bike in that direction.

Saturday morning I thought I was going to need a little warm-up but cleared nicely about Hill City. The wind kept up but was a tail wind until I-80. You probably will notice on another tread that Vic and I passed PrairieCrusier that morning with out realizing it but he figured out it must be one of us.

Gentlemen,
May I make a suggestion being from South Dakota. While a hotel is good, South Dakota has a fabulous feature that the Rally will be close to, Custer State Park. It offers fantastic riding and a wide variety of camping options. They have everything from tent sites (cheapest, around $12/night), to a full resort lodge with suites.
