We rode the Mickelson from Hill City to Deadwood. Highly recommended rail-trail ride. Tunnels, trestles, mountains, streams. Well groomed crushed granite surface, long, easy grades. Locals friendly, polite, kept saying, 'you should be here when the Aspens turn' so maybe on the way back from Cycle Oregon?
Excellent!! My wife actually suggested it so that sounds wonderful. Thank you so much for the feedback.
