Ridge Riders of the Black Hills are again hosting the 8th Annual Dakota Five-0. The Race/Ride/Tour has continued to grow each year and we appreciate all the riders support, sponsors and volunteers that make it possible. Ridge Riders continue to keep the trails open and groomed for your riding pleasure. It truly is the reason for the gathering. We have been able to cater to all styles and abilities of riders. This year we will have the same well-stocked aid stations throughout the course. Riders may find a few out of the ordinary aid stations such as the PBR stop at hobo camp or the all-new Bacon Station…

We have added several classes to this growing ride. 29 yrs. and under, 30-39, 40-49 and 50 and Over. I am most excited for the 50 and over class as we have had a growing number in this class that are very avid cyclist. 50 is a significant number for us at the Five-OH! All classes will be awarded graciously, see our web site cash and prizes breakdown for more details. QuarQTechnology a local cycling industry specializing in cycling power meters has sponsored our event. Through this sponsorship we will be fortunate to offer a Garmin Edge 705 gps unit specialized for cyclist. We will be awarding one each to the fastest man and women in addition to cash. Ellsworth Handcrafted Bicycles supplied us with a $900 wheelset and local artist Jennifer Braig donated a paintining. Funk Pottery crafts up custom Spirit of Five-0 mugs, as well as Dykstra Pottery donating some beautiful cycling pots and bowls… All this will and much more to be raffled off at the 4:30 awards ceremony and available to all riders. There are many sponsors and prizes available for all participants.

Again this year Smokey Bear will send riders out of Spearfish Park. Riders Meeting race line up at 7:20 am Spearfish Park Bandshell. After a short briefing riders will be sent out for the Singletrack Extravaganza. Riders will be greeted back in Spearfish Park with catered food from the Bayleaf Café, live music and two kegs of precious microbrew from Crow Peak Brewery.
Kids Race will be at 4pm and Awards Ceremony will follow at 4:30.
