I've been on the longest straight road in the US for two long days. I believe it goes for about 130 miles without a turn. I have actually gone to sleep while riding and only wake up when I hear the rumble strip:)) Just kidding!
I've been doing about 60 to 70 miles a day. The winds are still still out of the East but the road is almost completely flat.
I'm in a hotel in Fargo as this morning and enjoying every second of it. I got into Fargo just in time. The storms moved in last night.
The last two nights could not have been more contrasting. I was camping next to a river and bathing in the creek night before last and last night I'm in hotel with a King Size Bed with a kitchen and hot shower. It's nice.
Fargo is a point of decision for me today. The direction I go from here will determine where I am for the next week.
I believe I'll take the alternate route which will take me to some nice rail to trail sections. I'll eventually end up in Bowlus MN.
Here is a link to the trails.

Its going to be a short riding day. I'm stopping by the bike shop on the way out of town and need to stop and get a haircut before I leave Fargo.
