Day 35: Fargone

Fargo, ND

We had a great rest day today!

Last night we were just exhausted, after that band at the Cormorant Inn kept us up all the night before. We were falling down tired, but we wanted to check out Fargo. Apparently, it has a pretty happening nightlife. So we decided to take a quick nap before heading out to hear some live music. We woke up from our nap at 2 a.m. So much for that. We then went back to bed and slept another 6 hours.

Feeling very well rested, we started the day with coffee and puzzles. Fun! We walked around town, read books, and saw a movie (Midnight in Paris). Just a standard rest day, but they are so desperately needed!

Last night aside, we've been getting to bed later and later, and getting started later and later. It's bright out until almost 10 p.m., making sleep at 9 p.m. (our normal crash time) pretty tough. We're almost to the solstice now, and we're pretty far north. I guess we should just start riding later into the afternoon/early evening.

Tomorrow we're heading on through North Dakota. I'm hoping we can make it to Minot in 6 days and then do another rest day, but everything is so tied to the weather and the terrain that I'm not sure it's possible. The next 3 days are supposed to be rainy/stormy. Wish us sunny weather (in the 70s) and flatish terrain!

  1. How about that -- they spell it right in Fargo! You didn't mention the Fargo accent... is it like the movie? Love that movie. Here's wishing you no storms and easy terrain till your next rest day :)

  2. Glad you were able to get some rest and see a little bit of Fargo. I hope you have good weather today. We took the boys to Busch Gardens yesterday and they had a great time.
