Who are we?
Our Story
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.
When the tour kicks off in early August, North Dakota is exploding with color. Harvest is just beginning. Rolling hills flanked by brightly colored fields of various crops is a common sight in North Dakota this time of year.
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, like this one above.
