After an intense hail storm (video to come), a beautiful rainbow showed up!

I guess a flat tire might not be mechanical however our first bike issue was a flat tire. Speedily the support crew drove out to Arvid’s breakdown point and the flat rear wheel was replaced with a fully functional with…

Finally some sun. The day is beautiful and the ride continues. Arvid is pedalling strong today taking advantage of the nice conditions. One small 9 minute nap this afternoon and them back on the bike. Fluid retention issues are not…
