Roadside Donation!

Arvid threw out the challenge, and someone responded! I had been out to visit Arvid and do a few tweaks on the phone/iPod setup, and was driving back. I had my window open and was chatting with a rather cheery Arvid (since taking a long nap in the afternoon he’s been moving a bit faster – his last lap was 1:02). Up ahead of us were two people on the side of the road.

“Are they your fans?” I asked.

“Nope,” he responded.

As we drew closer the two of them started to clap. When Arvid cycled past one of them held out a distinctly brown bill. Arvid was able to grab it and yell “Thank you!” as he cycled away, stuffing the $100 donation in his back pocket.

Whoever you are – THANK YOU!

    Hey there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re using?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I
    must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most.
    Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a honest price?
    Thank you, I appreciate it!

    Here is my website … wheretogo

  2. What a information of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious familiarity concerning unpredicted
    feelings.

Arvid's Role

God has called me (Arvid) to be an ambassador for Mully Children's Family. I have chosen to use ultramarathon cycling as my platform from which to fulfill this calling. You can follow my ride, here, at www.grandpascan.com/ride. To read more about me and my story, click here.
