Just crossed the border into Ontario; yours to discover. 

Trying to get Arvid’s warm shirt dry before he needs it for night riding. 

A 30 minute nap (earlier today) followed by a burger compliments of Walker’s hit the spot. Then a quick ‘bird bath’ and he was ready to go. 

Leaving Winnipeg and heading to the Whiteshell the traffic has been unbelievable. I suppose people are heading to cottage country for the weekend.  That, along with construction and no shoulder to speak of has made it a treacherous ride for the beginning of the second leg. Please continue to pray for safety for all. 

Willy and Betty so nice to see you in the middle of nowhere!

We are almost in Ontario

Merci thank you Greg for your generosity 

Arvid really enjoyed the burger 👍

Awesome to witness Josh the nurse changing the bandages and son Paul giving strategic secrets

With Arvid’s arrival in Winnipeg, Crew #1 completed their leg of the ride. Thank you to Paul, Ed and Al. You did a great job! And we hope you (Stan) continue to recover.

Welcome to Crew #2!  Weldon & Arlene, Sylvain & Martine and Ruth  will do our best to get him to Halifax.

Check out their bios in the 2016 crew section.

Arvid completed day 5 with 438km for the 24-hour period, bringing his total to 2310km and a lead of 2h 13m on the averaged pacer. Thank you to all who came out to cheer him on!

He had 2h 40m of sleep and an average riding speed of 25.1km/h.

Thanks for everyone that came and cheered. It does give us so much energy 

Keep following us

And praying

Soon 

Come and say hello we are in Winnipeg 

Hwy 1 to the legislative building 

When Arvid arrives, we will attempt to stream on his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/Arvid-Loewen-Cycling-Philanthropist-204857699527095/
