It looks like the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally starts on Aug. 6 next year.
Just for fun, I looked up rooms for July 24 & 25 and the following weekend in Rapid City. A room at the Cambria jumped from $156 a night to $240.
We might be okay for the 24 & 25. I’m hoping most vendors will be busy vending someplace that weekend because they want to make up for lost revenue this year and won’t start rolling in to SD quite yet.
But if this is the weekend that ends up winning, we all should definitely book our rooms as soon as we know this is the date.
Just for comps:
The Cambria (I’m just choosing it as a constant—it is the first one that popped up) is $156 a night for the June dates but $67 a night for the May dates.
The date range I chose when I looked for all dates was actually Th-Tues only because I plan to roll in on a Thursday night and leave Tuesday so I have time to help set up and see some sites.
