Might want to drive up Pikes Peak if your wife hasn't been in high altitude before. Altitude sickness on the cog leaves no retreat. Google the symptoms. As was said already, might want to avoid Sturgis unless you relish mayhem, sleeping in your car, and sniffin' Harley exhaust. The Black Hills turn blue from the smoke not to mention the noise. 200 miles from Sturgis is about right.
Only an issue if you go during bike week - the first week in August.
