Medora, N.D. - Motorcyclists
heading to Sturgis or those who want a reason
to enjoy the open road on their bike can stop in
Medora on Thursday, August 4 for the Theodore
Roosevelt Medora Foundation's first-ever motor-
cycle event.
The Medora to Deadwood Iron Horse Rally
will feature live outdoor music on the
Chuckwagon patio, located on Main Street. The
free musical entertainment starts at noon and is
open to the public.
In addition, motorcycle ride maps for
Theodore Roosevelt National Park's scenic 36-
mile paved driving loop and the immediate area
will be available. In case of inclement weather,
the music will be moved inside to the
Chuckwagon.
"For many, the draw of motorcycling is being
on the open road and enjoying the scenery and
stops along the way, and I don't think they'll find
better scenery than right here in the North Dakota
Badlands and in Theodore Roosevelt
National Park," said Randy Hatzenbuhler,
president of the Theodore Roosevelt Medora
Foundation. "As motorcyclists make t~eir way to
the Sturgis Rally, we invite them to stop in
Medora and take in all of its offerings."
