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.

Crew: ” another energy drink?” Arvid: “no, I just had 637 calories!” Crew: “how do you know?” Arvid: ” actually it was 644, but I didn’t eat one skin!”

We are about 38 km out of Medicine Hat on the side of the road. Sweet tailwinds the last 2 hrs.

That’s the spirit!

Got a bucket (10pcs) for Arvid! He’s gonna fuel up!

Catch up on the days events, live and in living color!

Arvid is still fighting strong crosswinds at this point. Basically a headwind coming from the South is holding him back. From Medicine Hat it’s back to a regular south wind, maybe even a tailwind.

Arvid just stopped for 15min. Came into the RV for a cool off and a McDs milkshake. He put his feet in some ice cold water and chilled the bones for a bit. Wind going nuts outside.

Cross-winds make for a tough ride!

Kevin and Juergen took care of it, while the media guy takes some shots.

If the tail wind keeps up like this, the Wpg crew should be ready to go on Tuesday morning. 🙂

Flats are good for cycling but kind of boring to look at compared to the beautiful mountains.

At the sight of some cattle at the side of the road Arvid gave us a heads up on this trip. He’s been known to coax the Black Angus into a full blown stampede to the point where he was afraid they would break through the fence. But apparently he’s not able to do that with the Herefords.
