August Rides

 A few more pics of rides I went on in August... 

Riding somewhere with Keiran... probably to one of the music lessons they took over the summer. 

Cormorants

Heading out for another paddle with Amanda

South Bridges. And smoke. 

Tandem ride with Amanda. 

TAndem ride with Keiran. 

Out for a ride with my friend, John, who I haven't seen in, like, forever!? 

Dust. 

Smoke and dry fields. 

So much smoke this month. 

Some of it was from Northern Saskatchewan... 

But some of it was blowing in all the way from British Columbia! 

Seemed like the end times... like the whole world was on fire!? 

And yet... flowers...? 

There were crazy hot days... and then there were days Amanda felt she needed an insulated jacket!? 

Finally getting around to resurfacing our street! 

It's happening! 

Finally some cooler weather and rain. 

When it rains... it pours...!? 

Over to my folks for a birthday supper. 

Me, my mom, my sister. 

SAw a rainbow on the way home. 

And a Beaver! 

One last layer of asphalt. 

The nice thing about the road being resurfaced is it's so smooth, it's like having a roller rink right outside our front door! 

So, I finally got out skating with Keiran again. 

Wow do our muscles hurt! Has it been THAT long since we went out last!? 

ran into some firends out on the Meewasin Trail and took a picture of them... 

taking a picture of us...? 

That's all I got for now. 

Warm Fall Evenings

Just some pictures of riding to and from dance class on a beautiful fall evening in Saskatoon. 

This last picture is Hugh - and artist friend of mine we ran into as we were about to cross the bridge on the way home. He was on his way home from his "day job" at Art Placement. I love running into people while we're out riding. Especially fun people on cool bikes. 

Shawn and April

(catching up on a little blogging...)

A couple weeks ago we played host to a couple bicycle travelers from Portland; Shawn and April - who are making a rather circuitous route across North America. I knew Shawn from waaaaay back in the comix/zine trading days in the 1990s. It was super fun to put a face and voice to the creator of all those Ten Foot Rule comix.


You can follow their respective bike tour journals at Urban Adventure League and April Likes Bikes!.

The day after they left we were off on our own little family bike tour - nothing so grand as Shawn and April's shenanigans, but it's a start! More on that in a moment...
