My Dad, Brother and his wife, 10 others and myself all rode. We didn't really go for the party so to speak as most of us are past that stage in our life. We went up to check out the spectacle, look at bikes and girls/guys, and ride through the Black Hills (very pretty riding). Several of the group had been before, but it ws a first for most of us. I was lucky in that I got to borrow a bike to ride, since I've managed to get rid of mine years ago. Now I think I need another one.
