CaNDak Coming to Pembina 8/2-8/3/25

 

125 cyclists from North Dakota and across the US will come to Pembina August 2, 2025.

 

CaNDak, (Cycling around North Dakota) is a group of high school coaches, teachers, administrators and volunteers that make possible an exciting and adventurous bicycle tour in the state of North Dakota.  We started this journey back in 2017 when the popular and long running CANDISC tour was ceasing operations.   We were approached to take over the tour and carry on the torch so we banded together to acquire the CANDISC tour and reimagined it into what we call CaNDak.

Our Mission: Our mission is to provide a great bicycle touring experience for our guests and use the proceeds from each tour to help fund the activities of our local participating schools and clubs.

Our tour runs Saturday to Saturday through the first full week of August every summer. We start with registration on Saturday and the first leg of the ride starts on Sunday morning. On Friday night we gather around and get everyone into Official T-Shirts and take a picture. 

 

The cyclists will come to Pembina August 2, camp at Ft. Daer, enjoy dinner at the Community Center (supporting the Ambulance Service), then sight see the historic buildings and cemetery as well as the museum, participate in a murder mystery event at the Federal Building, go golfing, play frisbee golf, play baseball, roller skate/roller blade, go to a street dance in the evening at the Bridgestone, then back to their tents until morning, when they will have a wonderful breakfast put on by the Pembina Volunteer Fire Department at the Fire Department and Community Center. 

Some of the bikers may opt to eat at The Bridgestone, the Golf Course Cafe, or GasTrak, as well as purchasing goods from D&K to make their own meals.

Sunday they will leave and travel to the following surrounding communities: Aug 3 (Walhalla); Aug 4 (Langdon); Aug 5 & 6 (Devil's Lake); Aug 7 Park River; Aug 8 (Hallock MN); and returning Aug 9 to Pembina.

They would like to support our local 4H by having them posted along the highway from Hallock on August 9, selling water, snacks, etc. If the 4H coordinator would please contact the Pembina City Office to indicate interest and availability, it would be awesome. 701.825.6819

Please welcome these cyclists from across the US and wave/cheer them on as they go through town.

You will need to go to Grand Forks to pick up the winter clothing voucher (they need to verify your identity so no one gets your vouchers).  Community Options (located in Grand Forks) will help you to apply for LIHEAP, and once you do, you qualify to get $200/person vouchers to get brand new winter clothing.
