There is a discussion going on in another thread about "tar snakes" or "road tar snakes"---the sealant that patches cracks in pavement, and how it can be dangerous or slippery for bikes. A warning....when you are at CFO, you should know there is a section of Highway 16 about 10 miles west of...

Another reason to come to CFO is to check out the new Cabella's store in Rapid City that opened a couple of weeks ago. It is on the east side of Rapid City, on the north side of I. 90 near exit #61. I was there a few days ago and it is stunning.... the size of it and the inventory and the...

Today I received this in an email from the Superintendent of Mount Rushmore National Memorial: This is a setback, since I know several people were planning on doing this. I can sorta understand Mount Rushmore's position, because as the folks know who did the hike last year, it is no piece of...

Last year I put together some suggested routes for individual day rides at CFO 2007 HERE. Those are still valid. But in case you want to put together your own routes, I highlighted some good and great roads in the Black Hills on some maps. The maps you see below are just low-resolution...
