The Mickelson Trail is a great rail trail that goes through some very nice country in the Black Hills. The trail is very well maintained with several excellent trail heads and shelters. There is nothing technical or difficult about this trail, but there is just something about it that I love. My wife and I ride it several times a summer and we have never had a bad day riding it. We normally ride it on our singlespeeds but sometimes we use geared hardtails. You definitely don't need any suspension. There is a century ride every year called the "Big Mick" that is a blast. My brother and I rode the full 109 miles this year in about 9 hours. Find the information here http://www.mickelsontrailaffiliates.com/big_mick.htm Not technical, not singletrack, and not challenging other than a physical push to log a lot of miles if you want to, but a very nice trail and a fun relaxing ride.

This is a nice rail-trail. Good scenery. I heard there is some singletrack in the loop a few miles south of Deadwood.

This is an awsome rail-to-trail trail. The trai in the north is hilly with 4 tunnels and in the south the trail is flat and open. A good all around trail, something for everyone.
