Black Hills, SD: February 5-10, 2023

What a great few days in the Black Hills!  Fifteen club members made the trip out to Recreational Springs Resort in Lead, South Dakota for some awesome riding, incredible views, and fun times together.  The snow gods finally blessed this trip and the trails were in just about perfect condition.  Locals said this was the best week of the season!  Many miles were ridden on trail by all, and several members took advantage of some off trail riding.  Some of the more experienced off trail riders (Steve and Jim) chaparoned some of the newbie off trail riders (Scott and Matt) when the Newbies decided they were going to take their sleds off trail and “go get ‘em stuck”… and that they did!  Our rides took us to places with incredible views both in the valleys and on top of the hills.  In addition to riding, we found time to celebrate Steve’s birthday with a party bus ride to a nice dinner at the casino one night, and a few members took a day off from riding to go skiing.  We enjoyed telling stories each evening at the resort bar and especially enjoyed watching some of Scott’s go pro videos (which were valuable evidence for “red flag” protests 😉).  Thank you Steve for organizing such a fun trip.  Can’t wait to go back!
