1bigguy, Maybe I will see you there. I am the one with the yuppy dressed toddler who keeps closing the trailtrunks and cries when he has to leave the tent for oil changes.
Your route, make sure you include Killdeer mountians (great battle!) My route, South i-29, Grand forks west to Medora in theodore national park, east to bismark/fort lincoln, see dogs den butte, stop at the village on the slant(Mandan) south through standing rock to rosebud, west again through Pine ridge, stop at Joe's feed the buffalo, then west again 14 miles to Rapid city! After a good drunk, up to crazy horse(birth place bears butte)-keystone and deadwood, and back down through lead and end up back in sturgis after sundown charge in Custer. then do it all again for a few days! heading back home through sheridan Wyoming and the infamous rosebud battle in Montana stay in fort union or crow agency head home east past williston, up to Wahalla (louis reil's hiding spot) then forty five minutes of the Pembina valley and i am home!
Which way are you going. Fly to winnipeg and rent a bike?
