Good morning from somewhere in Saskatchewan

We all caved in at 3am this morning. Amazingly Juergen heard his alarm and we did eventually get up. Man was that hard. So now Arvid is pedaling away again onto the morning sunrise.

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.
