I have toyed with doing that event again.
We were on that same stretch 2-3 years ago and it was the worst stretch of the week! :-) I don't think it was as severe as what you rode through, but the wind plus the rollers sure took a toll on many riders.
If you're interested in riding CANDISC again, this is the 25th and final year of it. Oil traffic making the more scenic routes off limits, aging riders and fewer of them, lack of volunteers, more difficulty in getting host communities, problems finding groups to host rest stops, etc., have taken a toll. The route is to Devils Lake and back.
