The Badlands

On Sunday July 7, we rode 101.7 miles from Rapid City to Kadoka through the Badlands of South Dakota.  We started off in the rain at 0630 and rode out of it about 20 miles later.  We entered the Badlands National Park after 43 miles of riding and didn't exit the area until about

Mile 80.  Everyone took their time through heart of the National Park and took lots of pictures. I finished the ride in just under 7 hours.  We are spending the night in the Kodoka town park, sleeping on our tents.  Tomorrow we are riding 96 miles to Pierre.  Just another day on the Big Ride Across America!
