We had the same weather up in SD. It was cold and rainy through Wednesday, an the wind was pretty severely against us almost every day. Overall though, it was an experience. You're right, camping really sucked though.
How many people did BRAN? I think the count for the whole Tour De Kota was like 350, so it was a little more desolate than I was expecting. The little towns were all a blast. It's amazing what the really small (150 people) towns will do when the ride is coming through. I had a TON of homemade pie, so that was the highlight of the trip. I think it was last 2 days where the towns were really spread out, so most of the rest stops were really more of just tables set up in random places.
