When I did the SD BDR-X I left my gear behind at a friend's place in Custer. I only took tools, sleeping bag liner, pillow and a bit of emergency food. That all fit in my tank bag plus I had my hydration backpack with first aid kit. It was all I needed for an overnight in Spearfish. It was definitely nice to be light when on the trails!
Wise choice turning around - Warloop is nasty in that one mile section, a really good place to destroy your bike and body.

@@andywright5147 Good plan I need to get a much lighter set of gear or a more off road oriented bike for that style of travel.
May look for more backpack style camping gear; and some soft pannier bags for off road adventures. So many trails so little time.
I wouldn’t go down that road either, not without a skid plate to protect the gearbox.
It was nice scenery, riding through the woods.
Yea better to go find more adventures; than spend time and money on medical bills and fixing the bike.
Thanks for watching and commenting Scott.
