Heaven on Earth

North Dakota Bike Ride
July 18-24, 2025

Tour Highlights

Join Ends of the Earth Cycling mid-July as we #PrayPedalRepeat for the youth of Zimbabwe in beautiful North Dakota.  Come experience the picturesque beauty of road cycling in North Dakota and discover why some of the locals call it “Heaven on Earth.”  North Dakota is famous for attracting pioneers including Lewis and Clark and Teddy Roosevelt; embrace your chance to live the adventure this July!

We will traverse hundreds of miles of stunning views and rural uniqueness and beauty between the cities of Bismarck and Medora, including the rural towns of New Salem, New Leipzig, and Dickinson.  We have discovered a sincere interest and warm welcome in North Dakota with church communities eager to open their doors and welcome us in!  We are poised and positioned to be a blessing and to be blessed!

Our daily routes in North Dakota are dotted with small-town gems and staples, including coffee shops and cafes, as well as picturesque views that in moments seem to stretch all the way to the horizon.  

Plenty of photo opportunities for cyclists and SAG teams will pop-up as we discover the Enchanted Highway, a local treasure featuring the world’s largest collection of scrap metal sculptures along a 32-mile stretch of highway.  

Our tour concludes in Medora, the iconic historic hub for Western culture and gateway to scenic Theodore Roosevelt National Park, promising views of buffalo, wild horses, and the most adorable prairie dogs you ever did see!  Options for exploring will include the famous Medora Musical at the open-air Burning Hills Amphitheatre.
