A Short Tour in North Dakota



This week's bike overnight comes from Joel Bickford of LaMoure, North Dakota. Joel's story, titled "The Sauerkraut Ride: Rural North Dakota," begins like this:

Probably not many people view North Dakota as a bicycling paradise. We have harsh winters, and our towns are spread great distances apart. Most of our roads, other than the interstate highways, are busy with farm machinery for a large portion of the year. We are mostly flat, hence the term ?great plains? -- but if you fancy a subtle beauty, bicycling on the prairie is hard to beat.

And it ends like this:

Total distance was around 256 miles. It was a fun trip. The Nike people had it right when they coined the slogan ?Just Do It." The bicycle travel and overnights were a blast.

Read Joel's Bike Overnight story in its entirety here. While you're at BikeOvernights.org, also check out Todd Murdock's story, which published on April 18: "Travel Tip: A Kid's First Overnight" (it's really good!)

Rast Within Inches of Podium at Paris-Roubaix

Beautiful blue skies, unseasonably warm shirt-sleeve temperatures, knowledge crowds thickly lining the roads, hard to see how it could get much better for the 109th running of the 258-kilometer (160 mile) Hell of the North. It?s been named that mostly because of the 27 cobbled sectors (51.5 kms) that the riders bounce over on [...]
