I thought I'd share my preliminary route plan to this year's Sturgis Rally.  I'll be leaving from Calgary after work on the Tuesday so I'll have to find a place to hole up that night somewhere in Montana.  I'd bring a tent and set it up somewhere but I've already got one waiting for me in Sturgis when I get there.  Any ideas?

Weather permitting, I might just put my ass to the test and attempt to complete the Iron Butt Association SaddleSore 1000 Certification.  This would require traveling 1,000 miles (1,610 kms) in a 24 hour period.  I just hope there's a cold beer tub waiting at the finish line to sit my ass in if I do this.  The following change to my route would be needed:
