Moosomin Saskatchewan 

The windmill started turning when   Arvid rode by. The sleep Arvid had has put him into a good riding space. We will stop at DQ for poutine. We call this “cheap” calories.

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.
