Sturgis Cushman Rally

Tuesday the 5th of June turned out to be another typical South Dakota day. Nice in the morning and hot in the afternoon with a chance of thunderstorms. After helping Art get set up I got on my XT250 and went for a ride. I took the back roads up to Belle Fourche and stopped for a visit with my friends Rich and Lynn. When I left their place it was more back roads into Spearfish for a stop at the Walmart for a long sleeved white cotton shirt so as to avoid a sunburn. It worked well.
In the afternoon they ran a skills event that had a good turn out.
Here is grandpa, daughter and grandaughter. The object was to balance on the teeter totter.
One of the other games was to wrap the rope around the barrel without moving the barrel or the rope touching the ground.
You have to have good balance because you can't put a foot down either.
The day ended with another nice sunset and stormy weather to the north and east.
It was a good day.
On weds Art and I rode the scooters up to Whitewood for breakfast. They ran a little rough and so we spend alot of the rest of the day fiddling with the carb. The elevation in Sturgis is about 2000 feet higher than at home in Hayward WI.
