Sturgis Day 4, 7/31/09

Another 43 degree morning! Garth, John and I had breakfast at the Belle Inn, then back to camp to plan a ride. We did Rapid City, Hill City, Lead, and Spearfish Canyon. We stopped at Subway for diner and Walmart for supplies. Garth lost his helmet on the way to Belle Fourche from BC and picked up a new one at Walmart. I got some lounge pants and a sweatshirt to sleep in at Pamida.
The run up Spearfish Canyon was great. We followed a U.S. Forrest Service truck up the canyon at well over the 35MPH posted speed. I'm glad we could get that run in. Every time we rode the canyon after that, we'd get stuck behind riders that had never seen a curve before and they'd slow to 10 MPH under the posted :(

Larry, Julie, Scott and Sarah arrived at the campground and got all set up while we were out riding.
