Pulled into Bismark, exit 161, at 3pm and tried to get unloaded, my appointment was for 9AM the next day. The lady in shipping smiled but said "no cigar" as it was too late and the lumpers had all gone home anyway.
So, I parked the truck and took off on the bike. Found a bike path that lead downtown so went that way to find a bike shop as the Paragon needed some attention.
Turned out to be an hour or so to get to the shop. The Father and Son team at Broken Spoke got me going and were a pleasure to deal with.
Rode around for about 3 hours.
Lewis and Clark Park on the Missouri. Replica of the boat they pulled up the Missouri to the Mandan Villages then returned that same year to St. Louis loaded with various "findings".
Interstate Bridge.
Deer on the trail.
After climbing up from the Missouri. Bismark is quite the hilly City.
Singletrack starting at the Park and winding around and up.
I got to the client at 8:30AM and the same lady asked how my ride was the day before. After I said great, she said it was going to take at least 3 hrs. to unload me and she suggested I go for another ride. She had my cell number if she needed anything.
So I headed down to the State Capital building and the Natural History Museum after about 90 minutes of riding the trail and finding some more singletrack in Sleepy Hollow Exchange Park.
Was a great way to explore the city.
