It was cold!

Seeing as it is June, a person would think that a light jacket would be sufficient.

A person would be incorrect.

So Ruth and I (Arvid’s niece) called up my mom to bring a coupla pairs of socks and extra jackets. It was gonna be a long cold night

Moms are moms. Picture this: four pairs of socks, four sweatshirts, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of long johns, two hats (with Pom Poms on them bigger than my head), two pairs of mittens, two scarves, a thermos of hot stuff, protein bars (with apologies there wasn’t fresh baking), hot water bottle and heated rice bag. I may or may not have forgotten a few things.

Those things helped us non riders get through the night

Thanx mom.

Arvid's Role

God has called me (Arvid) to be an ambassador for Mully Children's Family. I have chosen to use ultramarathon cycling as my platform from which to fulfill this calling. You can follow my ride, here, at www.grandpascan.com/ride. To read more about me and my story, click here.
