Cycling Around North Dakota in Sakakawea Country

“Enchanted Anniversary Tour”

elcome to CANDISC, Cycling

Around North Dakota in Sakakawea

Country, a bicycle ride around some of

the greatest frontier of North America.

CANDISC will cycle 400 miles of hills,

dales, highways and scenic roads in North

Dakota. You will taste North Dakotan hospi-

tality ﬁ rst hand as communities open their towns to you.

In its 20th anniversary, CANDISC is a bicycle ride – not

a race. This year’s “Enchanted Anniversary Tour” 2012

will cycle the amazing “Enchanted Highway” featuring

the world’s largest metal sculptures, whose creator was

named a Bush Artist Fellow.

Be sure to visit the Knife River Villages National

Historic Site on the Lewis and Clark Trail, home of the

famous Corps of Discovery guide Sakakawea. Also stop

to visit New Salem Sue, the World’s Largest Holstein

Milk Cow! Take time on the tour for Assumption Abbey,

featuring early 1900’s St. Mary Catholic Church patterned

after Bavarian Romanesque architecture with majestic

twin towers, vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and

wonderful original paintings.

The ride begins at Fort Stevenson State Park in Garrison,

ND, a community of 1,400 located just north of beautiful

Lake Sakakawea, the largest Army Corps reservoir in the

USA. Riders travel a circular route then head back to the

park at the end of the seven day tour.

Before the ride...

This brochure contains a CANDISC

application form. Please give complete

information. Note that this includes a

mandatory waiver that must be signed

for each person wanting to participate in

CANDISC.

Application is limited to 500 riders so

participation is on a ﬁ rst-come, ﬁ rst-serve

basis. We know more will want to partici-

pate, so get your applications in early. Fees

will be returned to those who apply

after the limit has been met.

The Application fee is $180 per

person or $380 for a family (husband,

wife, children 18 & under) through

July 15th and should be paid by check

or online by credit card. To encourage

timely applications, a late fee of $30

will be charged after July 15th and must

be added to the regular application fee.

A daily fee of $45/day/rider is avail-

able to those who plan to ride only

certain days; not the entire week.

Your application fee includes over-

night camping in seven communities,

showers, ofﬁ cial CANDISC ID bands,

sag service, CANDISC shirt, travel in-

formation on North Dakota, emergency medical support,

daily route maps, baggage tags, vehicle pass, week long

parking at FSSP, marked routes, mechanic support, bag-

gage transfer, port-a-potty support, accident insurance,

designated rest stops with water every 10 to 20 miles,

patrolled route, bike license plate, and free celebration

meal at the end of the tour. Supper and breakfast meals

will be available at every host community along with rest

stops along the route. The application fee does not cover

the cost of food along the route.

Each rider under age 18 must have a signed medical

release in his or her possession at all times. Minors must

be accompanied by responsible adults, preferably parents

,at all times.

Unaccompanied minors will be sent home. Any minor

consuming alcoholic beverages may be charged accord-

ing to the law and sent home.

Planning for the ride...

CANDISC is a ride not a race. You will get the most

out of it if you are in good shape. The Route is 400 miles

with daily mileage ranging from 25 to 82 with a century

option available to test your stamina. Terrain in North Da-

kota can vary from ﬂ at wheat ﬁ elds to steep hills. If you

nying riders are required to be registered to have access

to the parking areas at the host community campgrounds.

A vehicle pass costing $20 is required for any vehicle

accompanying CANDISC. All vehicles must have desig-

nated stops and not follow the cyclists which can cause a

hazardous situation. The vehicle pass will include route

mapping, vehicle ID, state map, private vehicle responsi-

bility guide, and use of CANDISC campground facilities.

Daily Trip Sheets: Daily route maps will be provided

to riders. The exact route will also be clearly marked on

the right side of the road.

Bicycle receiving and shipping is available. Shuttle

service from Bismarck and Minot airports is available

for $10/person from airport to park and $10/person from

park to airport and will be provided by CANDISC. Final-

ize your arrangements in writing, by e-mail or letter by

July 15 if you need these services.

Your Accommodations...

Camping areas will be set aside by each community on

school grounds or city or state parks. The night before

CANDISC begins you will camp in designated areas at

Fort Stevenson State Park.

A hotel/motel list is available by calling the 1-800

number or e-mail listed in this brochure.

Please respect facilities. Do not trespass on private

property.

Food is not included in the price of the tour. CANDISC

has made arrangements with local groups (churches, ser-

vice and civic clubs etc.) to have breakfast and supper

available. Rest stops along the route each day will have

food and drink available for purchase. Be sure to bring

along enough money to cover your meals and rest stops,

bicycle repairs and incidentals such as souvenirs.

are unable to complete the ride,

you are responsible for your own

transportation back to Fort Ste-

venson State Park near Garrison.

You may begin riding each morn-

ing at sunrise; ofﬁ cially 6 a.m. Rid-

ing in the dark is foolish as North

Dakota enjoys 16 hours of daylight

during the summer. Please plan to

ride at a speed that will enable you

to ﬁ nish each day before sundown.

Sag wagons will bring up the rear

to pick up those riders who break

down physically or mechanically.

You can use the “thumbs down”

signal to let the drivers know you

need help. If riders veer off the

established route, they must let a

CANDISC ofﬁ cial know their in-

tentions. We are concerned about your whereabouts

and wellbeing.

Rider’s tags: You will receive a rider’s band that must

be worn during the ride. It cannot be removed without

cutting or destroying the clasp. It gives you access to

emergency medical services, shuttle buses, sag wagons,

campground facilities, showers, mechanical repairs, etc.

Baggage Tags: Baggage tags permit you to put your

gear on the CANDISC baggage trucks. By accepting

baggage tags, you agree to leave your vehicle at Fort Ste-

venson State Park or at home.

For security reasons, baggage must

be clearly marked to be claimed from our

trucks. Each rider is allowed two bags

(weighing not more than 40 lbs. each).

No external strapping to the bags. Do not

use garbage or Tupperware containers

for packing purposes. If you do not have

appropriate luggage, dufﬂ e bags will be

for sale at the registration desk. In order

for us to accommodate your needs in the

loading and transportation we require your

cooperation in this matter.

Be sure to have your baggage at the baggage trucks

by 8a.m. The trucks load where they unloaded the day

before in the campgrounds. You are responsible for trans-

porting your baggage to and from the baggage truck.

Those not staying in the CANDISC campground

must make other arrangements to have their gear

transported to the baggage truck. Remember the bag-

gage truck leaves at precisely 8 a.m.
