Cycling the Majestic Mickelson Trail
Join me for an five day, out and back trip of the Mickelson Trail in beautiful South Dakota. Immersed in old west history, this trail is truly unique as we travel through the Black Hills from Edgemont to Deadwood and back. Few trails can match the majestic nature of this journey.
