About Inclusions and the Cost of This Tour

Just a reminder that we rarely take so much of our equipment so far from home, mainly because of trucking expense. We learned during our scouting trip that unlike other rides, we won't be camping in city parks. Rather, we have selected privately-owned campgrounds right on the Mickelson Trail. We think, and hope you agree, that despite these additional expenses, the tour is reasonably priced.

Inclusions: Trail user fees; reserved campsites right on the trail in lovely privately-owned campgrounds (Edgemont staging area is blocks from the trail); daily baggage transport from campsite to campsite; refreshment stops on the trail on the two longer cycling days; daily hot, private shower and towel; phone-charging and morning coffee in camp; catered lunch and dinner on June 23rd (at Carstens Cottages); catered breakfast on June 24; round-trip train fare and site-seeing tour with box lunch on June 24; half-day site-seeing with coach transport to Custer State Park, Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse, with return coach transport to our Custer campsite (monument and park admissions included) on June 25; and the assistance of the able and cheerful Pork Belly Crew throughout the Black Hills Hundred.

We expect to have a bike mechanic and even a massage therapist along for this ride!

We're still working on some details, like arranged optional breakfasts in our campsites in those places where we think you'll want it and food vendors in camp.
