We stopped at Lewie's and enjoyed some food, and watched hundreds of bikes passing by on their way into Deadwood.
Relaxed, full and in no hurry.
We did eventually leave Lewie's. Back on Old Spearfish Canyon Road...
Enjoying the bike, the wind, the road and the amazing views.
About half-way back we pulled over to check out the stream (river?) that the road follows.
Decided to go down and play in the water a little...
...ok, Mary stayed on the rocks...I played in the water. lol
If you get up this way, there is a new road that goes into Deadwood, it is a nice 4 lane, with some good views and nice curves. However, the old canyon road is far nicer..whether just lazing along, or getting aggressive on it...
It is one of our favorite roads.
That's the last of Spearfish. We have 3 more days of riding to get back home.
Next up is the long, hot, windy, straight trek across the Badlands and the rest of SD before turning south.
