Today is update 23, we travelled from Enderlin, North Dakota to Fargo, North Dakota. So we happen to be in Fargo, North Dakota Research and Technology Center. I think this bison here is a really good symbol of North Dakota.   And we are about to enter Minnesota in the next couple of days. So we're heading to Minnesota and then Wisconsin the next couple of weeks. But we had really good weather today. beautiful weather, nice blue skies, not much when I got into by noon. 😅  So an excellent day of biking. Tomorrow, we're gonna get a chance to spend some more time at the research center and learn about their activities. And then on Wednesday, we're heading to North Park Rapids, Minnesota, in the land of sky blue waters, and Lake Itasca where we're gonna stop for a few days I get a little rest in that checkout scene in the upper Minnesota.

Day 22 bicycling across the country we went from Gackle to Enderlain, about 75 miles. Very beautiful day straight road, not very many hills or anything. What was interesting is we had to again climb up over the Continental Divide, of course it was only about 1200 feet. And what it divides is that the water that flows West goes into the Missouri, the water that goes East because of the Cheyenne River, which flows north into the Hudson Bay. That's why it's called the Continental Divide is right in that spot about 10 miles west of town. So a great day on the bike, fast day, and we're here for a short time hitting Fargo tomorrow.

Day 21 of bicycling: You can see that we made it to Gackle. Gackles is a nice little town It was 105 miles between Bismarck and Gackle and it was kind of a long uphill. Rolling Hill kind of thing reminded me a little bit of eastern Montana. But Gackle is quite a small town we felt very welcome and I packed as I pulled into town I get greeted by one of my best friends from high school, Dan Wakefield and surprise my sister Kathy so that was fun. And they had gone around town and learned a lot about the town there's a really neat little honey operation and bakery and we had a guy walk up to us and Opera place to stay where bicyclists can stay they get bicyclists through here so if you're biking across America in the area and you need a place to stay Gackle was the place to stay. So a wonderful day, great day in Gackle.

Adventure Cycling inspires and empowers people to travel by bicycle.  As a nonprofit organization, Adventure Cycling Association's mission is to inspire and empower people to travel by bicycle. Established in 1973 as Bikecentennial, we are the premier bicycle-travel organization in North America with more than 40 years of experience and 53,000 members.   Cycling one of our routes this summer or passing through Montana? Be sure to visit our headquarters in Missoula.  WEBSITE: https://www.adventurecycling.org/ YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/AdvCyclingAssoc/videos Adventure Cycling Association: Our mission is to inspire, empower and connect people to travel by bicycle started off with a really interesting story of two couples who did an amazing bicycle trip for the state of Alaska to the tip of South America. And so on that journey, those two couples brainstorm the amazing idea of creating a bicycle route across the United States. And from there is where the Adventure Cycling Association starts. Cyclists stop through adventure cycling and I would say 95% of these people, each summer are doing the transition. They're either on their way to Virginia or rural Oregon.  ----//BIZINMOTION//----  ABOUT THE RIDE: Imagine having the ability to fund a fellowship to teach tomorrow’s community leaders about entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership with the click of a button.

VLOG 20: This is a special place because we are at the banks of the Missouri River. Between Mandan and Bismarck, North Dakota. We biked from Hebron today about 60 miles.   And what's special about this place is of course Lewis and Clark came here and they started their voyage in the spring of the year.   They got here in October, and they ended up meeting the Mandan Indian Tribe and setting up a fort here and wintering here. We’ve been following the Lewis and Clark trail from Cape Disappointment to this point.  From this point forward, we're going to leave the trail and we're going to head across North Dakota in to Minnesota. But this is a special place, you can see the Missouri River here. 🏞  It’s a great tribute to innovation and exploration and commitment to Lewis and Clark, to get to the Pacific and be able to tell us about the territory and survive that whole experience. So thank you, Lewis and Clark for that heritage. And thank you for tuning in to our update.   We appreciate you tuning in, be sure to press that like button, but also go to bizinmotion.org and consider donating for the cause. Again, the cause is to find the fellowship program to enhance entrepreneurship and young people. Thank you! 🚴

DAY 19: Biking from Medora to Hebron, "Heb-Ron" or as my colleague Mike says "He-Bron" Dakota. It was a little shorter than we thought because of construction and interstate. So it was 57 miles in that 70 miles, so a little shorter, but it was a cold day it was in the lower 50s and it rained off and on throughout the day and it was a cold rain got very wet. And last especially the last half hour of the ride. ☔️   So it was nice to get in town and get changed and get warmed up. We're coming to you from The Dark Side of the Brew coffee house in Hebron and it's very good coffee very good host and so we appreciate that.☕️  Tomorrow we're in Central Time, my home central time zone for several months. So that's nice. We're heading to Bismarck, North Dakota tomorrow. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be in the 70s and not raining, so it should be a nice bike day.   So thanks for keeping tabs with me again.

DAY 18: On the bike and we went from Glendive to Medora. So we're in North Dakota and it is one of my home states. So it feels like I'm getting closer to my home territory. We're camped at a state park right outside of Medora, Sully’s Creek State Park, beautiful surrounded by the Badlands.   It was kind of a short day, more short than we expected because 40 miles of the route are on I-90 and we decided that it was not the safest thing to do. So some parts of I-90 we did not do. We did this beautiful ride on what they call old highway 10. A beautiful road. It remind me of some of the other nice isolated roads we've been on a golden eagle on the route.  It was about 30 out of the 70 miles potential for the day because of the I-90 issue. But I'm glad we made that decision because safety first. So again, continue to tune in, hit that like button.

DAY 17: Short day from Circle, Montana to Glendive, Montana - only about 50 miles. It was a nice quick ride into town and sort of a semi-rest day. 🏘  Tomorrow we go to Theodore Roosevelt National Park we'll be in Medora, about 75 miles away. Not a lot of action today, but we did see an owl which we got a picture of! But, overall, not a lot to report on today.

DAY 16 UPDATE: Thanks for joining us today. It was another long ride, I did 97 miles yesterday and did 92 today. It was supposed to be 100 miles but we ran into eight miles of construction that we couldn't get through.   We had to hop in the van to get through the construction zone. So it was 92 miles from Sand Springs, Montana to Circle, Montana. And it was a long grinding day.   You go about a mile and then you have to go uphill and then you go a mile and have to go uphill and go a mile you have to go uphill so I went up 92 hills and miles today. 😅   I have been getting requests to get the man behind the camera in front of the camera. So I want to introduce you to Chuck, our Director // Visual Storyteller 🎥 🎬  He’s been doing a terrific job. And Chuck's been reading this book, The Divine Comedy: The Inferno and guess what he said to me on the road today?  Chuck: So Steve gets in, he's covered in sweat just brutal day, one of our hottest days so far. And I lifted the book up and said read this if you want a poetic description of what you're doing out there, sweat everywhere, hills, the full nine yards.  A little backstory, 17 years ago, my son and I did a portion of the Columbia River and we call that day Dante's Inferno and today was Dante’s number two day.   It was a hot day for 92 miles, but we made it safely. The sun is starting to cool down so we're gonna have a nice evening of cool weather and good comfortable sleep before we head to the last part of Montana. ⛰   We're only about 100 miles from the North Dakota border, so we’ll be there soon.

Day 15: We went from Lewiston to Spring Creek. We’re no longer in mountain area, we are in the eastern part of Montana, Big Sky Country. We did a 97 mile route today.  We went up for a while to get over the Judas Mountain Pass. Not a big pass, but went up this nice mountain or hill, which then flowed downward for a while. Then for 50 miles, it was up with rolling hills, so it was a tiring route. 97 miles but we made it in good time and we have a little camp spot in the middle of the countryside.   We'll be spending the night under and watching the stars. We’ll probably see some good stars tomorrow and we got another long ride in western Montana.
