Golf and Bikes

Tuesday was a great day for golf with Ray and Judy and our new friends.  I didn’t play all that well but had a really fun time with the ladies.  That evening we had dinner in town.

Since we took Wednesday off and didn’t do much of anything we took a road trip on the Needles highway past Mt. Rushmore and through Custer State Park.

We chose to ride the opposite direction on the trail to Custer on Thursday. We walked around the town and had a nice lunch before heading back.  This part of the trail was a long uphill climb for 8 miles and then a cruise down to Custer for 7 miles.  Of course we had to climb back up to get home.  Near the crest is Crazy Horse Monument.  We opted to stop for a short visit to see what has changed since we last saw the monument 9 years ago and to peruse the museums. 

The ride down hill was coasting.  We surely did not pedal much and having a motor was of no benefit. But we still consider it a 30 mile ride.
