Spear Fish to Keystone [Mount Rushmore], SD 62 hard ass miles
We did 5,000 feet of climbing including a 12% grade the last 2 miles up to Mount Rushmore. Mt. Rushmore has shrunk since I was here as a kid. We rode the last part as a group with Rich caring a large American Flag. It brought tears to my eyes as cars came by with people honking their horns and waving at us; we don't get a lot of thumbs up.
