Are you a first timer at the City of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or just need to find out how to get around and where the best rides, bars or hamburger joints are? Let us take the hassle out of learning the Black Hills on your own and join us on a “Ride with a Local”.
Our friendly guides have been in South Dakota for years and know their way around. They will show you the sights and delights that the Black Hills and surrounding areas have to offer.
This ride will take you to some of the best back roads and places to visit in the Black Hills. Every year people come to Sturgis thinking they are going to see and do everything, just to find out that they didn’t plan well enough to accomplish that goal. Leave the planning up to us and ride along with some of the most experienced riders in the area who will take you to some of the most spectacular sights in the Hills.
Registration is $45.00 and limited to 15 bikes for each ride. Itineraries and maps will be provided at the starting location. These rides take approximately 3 hours, including rest breaks. Lunch will be provided at the end of the ride.
