• Comments: The race is a really pretty venue. It's in/around a really nice lake. The organization was really good too. It would have been nice to have it chip timed, but in the end, it really didn't matter much. After the race they had a pretty good meal set out for the racers and the hardware they gave out were jars of some of the best honey I've ever had. There were plenty of water stops on the run and the ride, even though a lot of the places were fairly remote to get to. Overall a really good race.

• Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
• Plenty of drink stations?Yes


• Post race activities? Good
• Overall course based on my ability: Just right


• Comments: This was a very well-run race in a gorgeous setting. It may be off the beaten path, but the Black Hills are a place that should not be missed. We found some excellent singletrack the next day for a great two hour ride before making the drive home. Recommended stops - breakfast at the cafe in Cheyenne Crossing, mountain biking at Old Baldy or Big Hill trail systems, camping at Iron Creek Lake. Things we didn't do (but would be high on the list): see Mt. Rushmore, rock climb Spearfish Canyon and/or Devil's Tower and/or the Needles, fishing, cave exploration (there are many).
