Day 32 Jamestown to Enderlin, ND

71.46 miles, 922 feet. Today was a perfect biking day. The route was fairly flat, the temps reasonable, and the wind was not a head wind! The first 20 miles were on I-94. The rumble strips were right in the middle of the shoulder which was a bit of a challenge. We crossed the continental divide. The second leg of the route led us south on a low traffic roadway with a very slight tail wind. It was fun to be able to finally cruise at 18-20 mph. The final leg of our route took us back east, but the north wind had a cooling effect as the temperature warmed.

Because we left at 6:30 am, our lunch stop was at 10:30 near mile 49. We had one long drop and 3/4 mile climb as we crossed the Sheyenne River. We reached
Enderlin before 12:30 and spent the afternoon resting and enjoying a nice breeze in the shade. The name Enderlin comes from End of the Line as at one time the railroad ended there.

Tomorrow is a fairly short day, so we will sleep in a bit later. We head to Fargo and our last two nights in North Dakota.Read more
