My route headed south today from Wolf Point, MT to Lindsay, MT. My original plan was to continue east on Hwy 2 toward Williston, ND. However, recent oil and gas development in the Bakken Oil Shale Field of western ND and eastern MT have made the roads in that area unsafe for cyclists, as there are minimal shoulders and high levels of truck traffic. Tomorrow I plan to head toward Glendive, MT and begin a southern route through ND.
Here is a picture of our windy lunch stop today in Circle, MT. Excessive headwinds made cycling slower than usual.
