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).
