I’ll be out in the Hills, and plan to ride Custer to Deadwood either Monday August 4th or Tuesday August 5th. I ride a gravel bike…if anyone would like to join, let me know. I am a somewhat experienced rider, I should be able to ride it in about 5.5 hours…but who know.

The usual time for fall colors in the Black hills is the end of September. Our weather varies a lot. This the northern hills have been green and lush while the southern hills are dry and brown. The only problem with late September is the chance of snow. But you are always near towns on the trail and if we have snow it would be gone in a day.
I hope you get a chance to enjoy the trail.
