Minnesota? Isn't that the state where you basically have two seasons? -
Winter and road repair ...

Is that good for cycling? How do you get along there?

Road repair is especially the province of Southern Minnesota (and all of
Iowa). The reason for it is all the freezing and thawing that goes on all
winter. When you get far enough north, the road stays frozen and so is not
constantly breaking up. The roads in Northern Minnesota are much smoother
than the roads in Southern Minnesota.

Somewhere I saw or read an interview with the Cohen brothers
about their movie "Fargo" (set in Minnesota).

One question was: "What is Minnesota like?"

Their answer was: "Siberia - with family restaurants."

Fargo is the pits I must admit. However, the further north you go, the worse
it gets. How would you like to live in Winnipeg for instance? Winnipeg is
the coldest large city in the world.

I have done several week long organized group bike tours in North Dakota
(CANDISC). There was a group down from The Pas in Manitoba to do the ride
and they thought of North Dakota as being the Deep South.

They often do not repair the gravel roads here in Iowa. Wide, moderate
inflation tires (for cyclists) or a pick-em-up truck (for motorists) are
useful.
