When I rode across the country with a group of 13 in ‘99 we did a 63 mile day from Red Willow Lake to Page, west of Fargo. Heading east there was a great tailwind, but occasionally we had to turn right and pick up an incredible crosswind, I remember stopping in Cooperstown with another guy on the trip. We got a couple of Cokes because we needed quick sugar.

Page was really windy, but we camped at the town ball field. Since we were the first to arrive we had plenty of space to pitch behind some wooden wall that provided shelter from the wind.
