PHOTO OF THE DAY: RIDE ON

Scenes like this were common late Friday afternoon as bicyclists taking part in the 2022 Ride Across South Dakota (RASDak) arrived for an overnight stay on the Freeman Public School campus. Participants left by motor vehicle for the western part of South Dakota Saturday morning to begin their trek back across the state. They will spend Saturday in Hill City and then leave for Rapid City on Sunday, with subsequent stops in Wall, Kadoka, Murdo, Winner, Armour and, finally, Freeman on Saturday, June 11. This year’s RASDak is being called “Explore 44.”
