    Default Deadwood Trike Rally 2018

    Just finished reading about a trike rally to be held in Deadwood SD next July, didn't realize there was such a thing but apparently this will be the fourth year. Wife and I attended the regular Sturgis Rally last August and, other than the riding and sight-seeing in that area, we were not that impressed with the Rally itself.

    Curious if anyone here has attended the trike rally and what your thoughts are on this one vs the regular rally. Other than cheaper motel rooms and less crowded roads, I'm wondering if it's worth attending ???

    Rode out there last year from SW Ohio. Plan on again next year. Met some very nice people & did a lot of riding . Not near as crowded as Sturgis, The host hotel has been changed to a Travelodge. Same hotel just diff branding. Very nice with covered parking, 2 floors, of parking I think. They may be all booked,but hotels in Sturgis are only about 12 miles. http://d3wr.com/ You can book rooms but registration for Rally will be a couple months from now.

    We went to the first one. It was a pretty good time, tried going on a group ride. What a cluster. Instead of breaking up 200 trikes into smaller groups, they ran everybody together.

    After a few stop lights, you are following somebody who is following somebody else who doesn't know where they are going. We bailed and went off on our own...

    It was our first time riding in the Black Hills, that part was great, wife had never been to Mt Rushmore.

    Default 2018 Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally (July 10th - 15th)

    Hi Dave,

    As the forum's coordinator for the rally, I'd like to add a few comments, in addition to what my good friend Bill (PosseRider) stated. First of all, there's no comparison to the rally that's held in Sturgis, SD the first weekend in August every year, other than they both take place in the beautiful Black Hills of my state of SD.

    As Bill stated, during the Deadwood Trike Rally there's a lot less bike traffic and vehicle congestion that always comes with large gatherings. Lodging is less expensive and more readily available during the Deadwood Rally, however it is advisable that you still make your reservations early, as the area is a popular tourist spot during the summer. The Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally, it's official title, is solely a "trike" rally, catered to those rider enthusiasts that love to travel on 3 vs 2 wheels. Still, 2 wheelers are welcome to attend. To learn more about the rally, soon to be in its 4th year, I welcome you to refer to its website, http://www.d3wr.com. It is there where you can register and find what is scheduled during the rally, soon to be updated. There is also a link to the rally's Facebook timeline where up-to-date details are often posted. Also I refer you to past comments that were given by myself and other members that attended rallies 1 - 3. These are listed on the forums other gatherings, sub-forum Deadwood Trike Rally.

    Teresa Schanzenbach, the rally's coordinator, will be happy to answer any questions you have as well as myself. Since I'm unable to receive private messages through the forum, I welcome you and others interested in the Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally, to email me. My email address is: marquardt6004@gmail.com.
    If you decide to attend, I guaranteed that you will not be disappointed. We had about 400 trikers that attended the rally this year in 2017. Based on the number of trikers that have pre- registered at First Gold Hotel and Deadwood Travelodge Inn and Suites, our host hotels, we're better than 1/2 way there to matching and certainly bettering 2017's attendance. Hope to see you there...!

    Regards,

    Paul M.

    I am seriously considering attending this rally. Being a newbie (just two months) to the trike scene I'm digging it and this looks like a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts. Now I'll probably have some of my two-wheeled friends along but that's OK since riding is riding.

    Been to the area several times and to the actual Sturgis rally once . . . and once was enough. I don't get enthused about large crowds and congestion so this event looks just about perfect.

    That was our exact experience attending last year. The huge group rides sucked so we stopped attending those. We will be returning to that area in 2019 in our travels. Unless the organizers start breaking up those rides into safer more manageable size groups we won't drink that cool aid again though.

    PS: you should sell that pic to Harley to use in their marketing!

    Hi Joe,

    The organizers heard you and others and changes will be made. Please read my latest post:
    "Latest Up Dates to the 2018 Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally..."

    BTW, I picked up an Aluma TK1 trailer for my Stallion a couple months ago. Found it listed on Craigslist, a 2011 model that is in very good condition. I had to buy ramp extensions since the trailer's pull out ramp was a bit too short, (prevent high centering the Stallion as the front wheel cleared the ramp). They didn't make a longer ramp till 2014 and later models. Unfortunately my trailer won't accommodate a longer ramp without physically altering the storage area beneath the bed.

    Latest from the rally::

    Nothing is set in stone however here are a few thoughts/updates to keep you in the loop for the 4th Annual Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally taking place July 10-15, 2018.

    1. We will be taking a break from large groups leaving at one time to go on a destination ride. Instead, small groups of 20 trikes or less will take off together. We will provide maps and sign-up sheets to help organize individuals into the small groups. Ultimately the small groups will meet back up later in the day for an ice cream or watermelon feed.

    2. We are exploring a "Ride with a Local" day.

    3. Increase group activities by hosting some trike games, an outdoor movie night, and going to Sturgis on Wednesday afternoon for an outdoor concert/street fair.

    4. Having Vendors from Thursday - Saturday (in 2017 they started on Wed and will still have that option if they wish)

    4. Having the show n shine (sponsored by Powder River Trikers) and evening dinner/awards on Friday rather than Saturday so more people can participate before heading back home.

    I think they are really trying to better the event. The group riding the best upgrade for me.

    Appreciate all the responses and I just finished booking a room in Sturgis for the event. As I stated, our trip to the big rally last august left us wanting more riding experiences in the area and we were looking for a reason to get back out there. This sounds like a good experience and we are looking forward to attending.

    Hi Dave,

    Welcome, glad that you decided to attend. Trust me, you will not regret it. I see that you booked your lodging reservations at Sturgis. Did you find no vacancies in Deadwood? Just curious...
    Formal registration to the rally will soon be open on the rally's website, http://www.d3wr.com as well as a schedule of events, so please stay tuned.

    There were rooms available in Deadwood when I searched but either more expensive or not type of room we were looking for. Is there a disadvantage to staying 12 miles away 🤔

    To answer your question, certainly not. When I attended my first Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally, I stayed at the Game Lodge Campground in Custer State Park, about 65 miles away from the rally site. As I said, I was just curious why you opted Sturgis vs Deadwood. It doesn't surprise me that Deadwood is slightly more expensive than Sturgis, due to it's historical background which attracts more tourists. You'd find that during the Sturgis MC Rally, they are about equal.

    Talked to Teresa at the host hotel, First Gold Hotel & Gaming, they are already full up. Since I ride a Harley and they have a discount program with Best Western she suggested I check with them which I did. Booked our room for July 10 - 15 and really looking forward to this rally. I love that area and can't wait to get back there.

    Hi Jerry,

    Glad to read that you got your lodging booked and that you'll be attending the rally.
    Glad that you communicated with Teresa and she assisted in getting you checked in. She pretty much handles all the details of the rally and is doing a super job. Don't know where she finds the energy. Keep your eye on the rally's website http://www.d3wr.com, as the registration for the rally will soon be open. Take care...!

    Regards,

    BTW, I picked up an Aluma TK1 trailer for my Stallion a couple months ago. Found it listed on Craigslist, a 2011 model that is in very good condition. I had to buy ramp extensions since the trailer's pull out ramp was a bit too short, (prevent high centering the Stallion as the front wheel cleared the ramp). They didn't make a longer ramp till 2014 and later models. Unfortunately my trailer won't accommodate a longer ramp without physically altering the storage area beneath the bed.

    Phil, you will like the way the Aluma pulls. I hated to get rid of mine it was such a good trailer. Had to go with a 24' enclosed since we are now taking a car and trike with us behind RV.

    1. We will be taking a break from large groups leaving at one time to go on a destination ride. Instead, small groups of 20 trikes or less will take off together. We will provide maps and sign-up sheets to help organize individuals into the small groups. Ultimately the small groups will meet back up later in the day for an ice cream or watermelon feed.

    2. We are exploring a "Ride with a Local" day.

    3. Increase group activities by hosting some trike games, an outdoor movie night, and going to Sturgis on Wednesday afternoon for an outdoor concert/street fair.

    4. Having Vendors from Thursday - Saturday (in 2017 they started on Wed and will still have that option if they wish)

    4. Having the show n shine (sponsored by Powder River Trikers) and evening dinner/awards on Friday rather than Saturday so more people can participate before heading back home.

    I think they are really trying to better the event. The group riding the best upgrade for me.
    Bill, if they break up the group rides to 20 or fewer bikes in each group then we will attend again, probably in 2019. I can take or leave having a ton of vendors, especially since there are several shops in the area along with a J&P store.
