Setting out for Oceanside, CA!

Well, the trip before the trip has begun. Today, Arvid is en route to southern California, taking supplies, gear, and finely tuned bicycles (courtesy of Bikes & Beyond) with him. Arvid should be arriving in Oceanside, CA – a journey  of just over 3000 km – later in the week, to make preparations for the start of the race on June 11th.

Other members of the support crew will be driving down as well this week, with the rest flying out on June 8th.

On his way there, Arvid will often sleep in real beds, but sometimes in this fancy suspension bed. This method of sleeping saves space, but will also serve to help Arvid maintain good circulation and counter the effects of blood concentration in the legs after 20+ hours spent on a bike every day for nearly two weeks on end.

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.
