Killdeer Mountain Four Bears Scenic Byway

Motorcycle Type : Enduro

I am sitting in a Bagel shop in Minot, ND after having just finished this ride. I am on a cross continent ride and detoured to Dickinson to do this ride. Since the original review was written the oil boom has come to North Dakota. This road has now been turned into a main road for the heavy equipment to move in and out. That which hasn't been has been ripped up and in the process. There is heavy equipment, trucks and dust everywhere. I was passed by a semi trailer downhill at 65mph. Never in my life have I been so happy to see an interstate. How I wish I had have been able to ride it in the days when the original post was written!

Just rode the route for second time in July 2012. There is extensive construction, mostly softening some of the curves, and widening the shoulders. In some cases they've literally carved the tops off some of the scenic knolls in order to obtain great amounts of fill. I hope that the finished product will still be reasonably fun to ride as it was before this "improvement". I loved the route as it was.
