CANDISC,
Cycling Around North
Dakota in Sakakawea Country, is a bicycle ride across some of the
greatest frontier of North America. CANDISC will cover 410 miles of
hills, dales, highways and scenic roads in North Dakota. You'll taste
North Dakota hospitality first hand as communities open their towns to
you.

Since I was originally from North Dakota, I have always dreamed of accomplishing the CANDISC ride. This ride included 7 days of riding along the Missouri River in North Dakota.
We began in Garrison, North Dakota at the Fort Stevenson State Park and we our schedule was as follows:
