On this episode, we start the long journey to bike in the badlands of North Dakota… it turns out, perhaps the biggest reason I haven't had a chance to visit North Dakota before is because it is tucked out of the way in the US northern plains. Maybe its remote nature is a part of its draw? Its largest city of Fargo is the gateway to the adventure… would it surprise me from the start?

Dashed expectations for a cowboy bar because Fargo is way more of a city than I expected and really that's my own fault because I should have done a minimal amount of research into the vibrant community that Fargo clearly is, and for that I'm a bad podcaster and I'm sorry? Wait… is there a number here? 9!
