I thought we should have a folder for routes for those going to the Black Hills area either for the Deadwood Three Wheeler Rally or on their own. Thanks in advance to all who contribute!

Here it goes see if this works, hopefully as more are added it will help out in planning rides. I plan on adding routes that are paved "backroads" that people might not be familiar with that are not as heavily frequented by tourists. Also might list places to eat along the way, since this was a common question asked at last years D3WR.
Devils Tower from Spearfish link: https://goo.gl/maps/HP8rS9FwNbG2 clicking "avoid Highways" will put you on Old US 14, which runs parallel to I-90.

Added "Backway to Mt. Rushmore". Have Route starting @ Ft. Hayes south of Rapid City on Hwy 16. 99 cent all you eat pancakes & and stuff from "Dances with Wolves". Also "Bar at the end of the world"... maybe that needs to be in Wyoming... The name of the bar is Moonshine Gultch, in Rochford in case you want to look it up.

Another "Backway to Mt. Rushmore" map added. This is from Rapid City Regional Airport. Also a "Cycle Shopping" route running from Rapid City to Spearfish. From Spearfish there is the route that we took to Devils Tower using Old Hwy 14.

Added 2 more routes. "Badlands by Backroad" and "CanAm Hwy". I think I ran out of ideas, there are only so many paved less traveled roads to work with.
Sheridan Lake Road from Rapid City to Hwy 385 is a nice ride, and so is The Hill City to Deerfield Lake Rd. Passed Deerfield Lake the road turns to gravel so you have to turn around. There are a couple nice campgrounds near the lake. I hope these routes were useful to those who might be new to the Black Hills!

Reason: ok, I lied there might be more. I'll add as they come to mind.

It looks like the the google links aren’t always matching the maps. Seems the links want to revert back to the fastest route which doesn’t take the back or side roads. I’m going to go into the maps and add more waypoints and see if this fixes that issue. Looks like Google Maps only allows 10 "destinations" so some links are still not quite in sync with the maps.
