Viking Distance Cyclist Wows Winnipeg

Jeanette Watkins, publicist for Rune Monstad, sent me the following update this weekend on Rune's progress:

"Rune is now in Winnipeg and he has many reporters after him for stories. The Norwegian Club is doing a brunch for him today and the Scandanavian Club is doing a huge event for him this Sunday. He is also going to be in the annual Ice Bike Ride this Sunday, riding just a few km for pleasure only! He battled very high side winds coming into Winnipeg last night, so he is very tired!"

Rune is certainly becoming a sensation in Canada but then again, how often does a Viking ride solo across Canada in winter?

Stay safe, Rune.
