[ndcf] Red River International Bike Tour

[Tom Smith]

Passports for travel into Canada and returning into the US are required for
commercial air travelers.  At this time, US citizens are only required to
show a valid drivers' license or birth certificate to cross US/Canadian
borders via car or, in this case, bike.  The passport-at-all-access rule is
slated to go into effect in 2008.  I think I an correct on this matter, but,
of course, you should inquire at the custom and immigration authorities.

>   Hi, I am with the Red River International Bike Tour

Red

beaches

> inexperienced riders shouldn't worry, the North Dakota version of
mountains
> simply adds variety to your day as you peddle through the beautiful hills
of

> international flavor of the area will subtly contrast with the
similarities
> on the United States side of the border. The route moves southward along
the
> eastern side of the Red River Valley in Minnesota, giving the rider yet
> another view of the idyllic countryside with its rolling terrain.
Overnights
> on the tour will be spent in beautiful, well-maintained state parks
> throughout the area, providing riders with a peaceful rest at the end of
> each day.
>     The tour dates are June 18-22, 2007.  We could create a link from our

> interested in this tour.  Please email us back and hopefully we could work
> something out. Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!
