A milestone surpassed.
At 8:45 local time This morning Arvid realized he had completed the same distance that he had cycled in the 2008 Race Across America. And to add to the moment, he had also powered through the kilometers beating his previous time by 4 hours! We are continually amazed and humbled by the fact that even with all the challenges God continues to guide us and carry Arvid along.
