75th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

This week is the 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally!   You can't believe all of the motorcycles in the Black Hills this year - they're estimating 1.2 million people will attend this week.

We usually do the Dakota Thunder ride, but this year the were limiting it to Military ID holders only. 

We'd heard that the traffic is terrible, so we didn't want to ride in.  I decided I had to say I was there, so today I drove in with good pals Sally and Teresa.  (Girls day in Sturgis - whoo-hoo!!!)

This year they have a park and ride - great idea!  We parked, got dropped off at 4th and Sherman, and we were on our way!   Sally had never been during bike week, so this was a good break-in for her.   We ran into Annette and Mike Yarusso on Main street (what are the odds) - they're here for the week.

We did some T-shirt shopping at Hot Leathers, had lunch at the Loud American (legendary steak tips), and just walked around gawking.   What a blast!  So glad we went.  Tomorrow is the motorcycle parade here at Hart Ranch - we're trying to get "75 for the 75th".  We'll see.....
