Ah yes, the infamous stop(s!) at Mikkie D’s along the way. The hashbrowns are a big hit! We are in Calgary and will be catching up with Arvid. -MCF Van Team

478km 20h 35m on bike

Good Middle-of-the-night!

Arvid has arrived in Calgary and is heading into his cave in the back of the van. He will sleep 1h 40m and then hit the road. The stats say he’s far ahead but will balance back out once he wakes up. He’s sleeping in a different place than last year. Slight crew change and catching up on sleep for us. G’night!

Golden – yikes! It all started when we were supposed to take Dylan and John back to the MCF group. They were enjoying a picnic lunch at a park in Golden at 10th and 11th north. No wait. It was south. Or was it north? We still aren’t sure.

Then we realized the media info was in the follow vehicle. They tried to find us but neither of us knew the whereabouts of the other.

In the meantime, the MCF van was now having its brakes checked. Suddenly all three vehicles were at the same intersection!

Arvid asked for a Big Mac. The McDonald’s in Golden was jam-packed with youth adventurer boy & girl scouts making for very long line-ups. At this point Juergen was riding Arvid’s bike around town looking for a hose to wash the bike.

The MCF van left for their program in Calgary. Moments after they left we noticed Dylan’s luggage had been left behind. We trust that issue has been resolved

We once told the rookie support crew that things do not usually happen all at once. Today in Golden they did.

Earlier today John was able to spend some time in the support vehicle and see what happens right in the middle of the action!

What’s a roadtrip without a vehicle breakdown, right? And what better way to spend the hour for minor repairs than to play soccer with Kenyans!

Wow! How cool is that? All of the support team together. This is in Rogers Pass. Okay, as Benedict points out one person is missing because they were taking the picture. Can you guess who? MCF Van Team
