Rain

We were delayed in getting to Arvid when the rain hit, so he got wet for about twenty minutes. At the speeds he travels it’s (no joke) sometimes hard to catch him. He gets through a lot of jams faster

Touring Winnipeg

We’ve spent the dark hours exploring some of Winnipeg’s unique neighbourhoods. First was Van Welleghem Park, then Crescent Drive, then Wildwood. Sent him onto some of the trails to explore. Heading in the direction of downtown and then St Boniface.

Supper!

Arvid rode home with his wife, Ruth, after her shift at work. Now he’s enjoying a quick supper and then back on the road. 189k at this point. Getting ready for the night with lights and an undershirt.
