Nap time location

Some of you are probably wondering where Arvid takes his naps during the day. The RV is up ahead or far behind so we’ve got a bed set-up in the back. It’s actually quite comfortable.

Thanks to Bikes and Beyond and Giant

We just asked Arvid how the bike is holding up and he’s quite satisfied with it. Having a high quality bike for the trip has reduced one worry for Arvid and the crew.

About MCF

Charles Mulli is a former street child from the slums of Kenya. He became extremely successful in business, but then God called him to give it all up and care for the orphaned and abandoned children still on the streets in Kenya.

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.
