Black Hills Cruiser Classic
July 12-16, 2023

 

 Please NOTE: registration will be capped at 40 vehicles.

Headquarters/camping will be at Hidden Valley Campground.  All types of camping sites (full hookup sites, electric/water sites, tent sites & cabins) are available. We reserve the entire campground for our event and you may select a site when registering.  We will be managing cabins again for the event.  If you are interested in a Cabin, or have already reserved one before the event starts please get a hold of Perry Rupp to see if any are available for the event.  If you will be coming early and already have a camp site or cabin, please call or text Perry Rupp at (605)390-7016 with your name and site so that I can try to keep you in that site for the event.  All sites will be first come first served.   

To aid in ordering of event shirts and meals, registration after July 1, 2023 will be charged a $75 late registration fee.  Please take note and register early to attend!

Registration: Perry Rupp – (605)390-7016

This year we will be again be doing the optional overnight overland run, but this year have extended it another night as one night just isn’t enough.  This run will leave Monday 10 July and return Wednesday 12 July (prior to the official start of the Black Hills Cruiser Classic) from Hidden Valley Campground.   Doing this early allows for the group to get back so they don’t miss any of the event trails.  We’ll travel many miles on dirt/gravel trails, see active fire towers, visit some swimming holes to cool off in, top several peaks, and spend two nights primitive camping in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota.  You’ll be responsible for bringing your own camping gear, food and water, and any other supplies you deem necessary.  This is a trip into the southern Black Hills where Classic participants rarely get to go due to the remoteness from the event campground.  Space will be limited, but those that join will be in for a treat.  Cost is $100.00 in addition to your Black Hills Cruiser Classic registration.  Once registered you will receive individual confirmation and instructions.  This run will be lead by Walt  Digmann, a walking encyclopedia of information about the Black Hills.
