Incredible roads today, definitely the most challenging I have ridden. In particular Iron Mountain Road, and Needles Highway. First destination was Mount Rushmore. Very impressive. On Iron Mountain road we went through several tunnels including some that opened to Mount Rushmore. Into Custer State Park where we ate lunch. Herds of wild buffalo, a couple of deer, some wild burros and even some mountain sheep. After lunch we did Needles Highway and stopped at one location for some pictures. We caught up to the smoke from the fires at the south end of the state park and it was getting fairly thick. More tight roads, tunnels and buses almost getting stuck in tunnels.
We stopped in Hill City to visit the HD store then on to the Crazy House monument. Actually I think Hill City was after the monument, no matter.
I don't know, the number 153 miles sticks in my head, was definately the shortest distance and the shortest day.
