One thing to remember when riding across South Dakota be it I-90, Hwy 14 or 212 is that the towns are few and far between once you get to the Missouri. Watch your fuel gauge and make sure to fill up once you start getting below a half tank. Also in this part of the country the small towns will not have premium gas and watch for the E10. Some of the stations will have E10, E30 and E85 and just plain regular.
Enjoy the ride. Our HOG group with 29 bikes signed up is leaving on Friday morning (June 15) for our "Needles Run". This is the sixth year we have done this. We ride down on Friday crossing the Missouri at Mobridge or sometimes going down to Pierre and crossing then westward to Sturgis first and then to Lead where we stay. Ride the Black Hills and where ever on Saturday and then back on Sunday.

Many years ago I found out that you couldn't make it on one tank of gas driving Hwy 34 from Ft Pierre to Sturgis in a gas slurping pickup fighting a strong headwind. Union Center now has a card reader at the station. Don't miss it. The station in Hayes is now closed and Howes' Corner is iffy.
