Starting out amongst granite cathedrals on the Needles Parkway, then rolling up to the famed Mount Rushmore, and wrapping up the day catching a sight of an 1800's steam engine rolling by. This day combines touristy gawking with cycling bliss. JUNE 13 Not to be outdone, the namesake of the ride is day 3. A visit to the Badlands. Some riders will want the full 90 mile experience rolling from the river basin into the Badlands. Others will choose for a shorter 40 mile day rolling around badlands national park.
