Arvid wants to go about 10 more km before he’ll stop for a rest. His endurance is amazing to witness first hand.

This was the moment for me at the Legislature in Winnipeg early evening on Tuesday. Arvid had just gotten off of his bike and we all witnessed this exchange between Arvid and someone who had come with an open heart for abandoned children. You’re invited to do the same. As Arvid says, “Biking is the platform, children are the reason.”
-David Balzer, media crew

The plan is to try to put on a few more kms before Arvid goes to sleep for the night. He had a great escort into and out of Winnipeg, but now he’s riding alone again. We met up with the RV already to take on more essentials like fried chicken, redbull, and cookies. We forgot the pickels, but we’re new to this still. We’ll get it right tomorrow.

Arvid’s Quote of the night: “Gee it’s fresh out here.”

From Winnipeg to Halifax we have an expanded crew. New crew members, Henry & Brigitte Penner will be taking care of the RV. In the chase vehicle in 12 hour shifts will be Henry Bergen, Steven Redekopp, Josh Ruby and Victor Neufeld. Dave and Evan Balzer are taking care of media relations till Ottawa.

Thanks guys for a great morale booster!

We are expected to arrive at the Legislature building in downtown WPG for 6:30 – 7 pm.

Motorists slowed down to chat with Arvid. We are 42km short of the Legislature in WPG
