Not having my camera and taking photographs all the time, gave me a bit of time to finally finish reading my book. It only took me a few years :) |

DAY 3: Rode 598km. Home sweet home... I made it! |

I was driving and enjoying my view and than this happened. In total of 2 seconds hundreds of them got squashed. |

So this trip was a first real test for my Tucano Urbano saddlebags and they did great! Looking forward to use them on my future long trips, although they did kill my top speed by about 10-15km/h. |

This is my attempt of taking more photographs of something other than my bike... I took a few photos of cows... I tried, there was just not much out there :) |

While Oliver was taking his nap, I decided to ride and explore some of what Saskatoon has to offer. I would describe it as very bumpy ride.. Traveling always reminds me of how good our roads are back in Calgary. |

|
DAY 1: Rode 591km. I'm on a little adventure on my Vespa again. This morning I left for Saskatoon, SK. This will be a good test for my new Tucano Urbano saddlebags. First part of the day I had to ride in the rain, that I don't really mind, its actually somewhat relaxing :) |

Riding in the rain for hours was also a good test for my LifeProof iPhone case... so far so good :) |

Around lunch time the rain stopped, but unfortunately winds picked up and this ended up being probably one of the most challenging/difficult rides for me. I had to ride in a very strong side wind and because of the turbulence I really had to slow down or pretty much stop when I saw big semi trucks coming my way. Because of the wind my top speed at one point was only 68km/hour, full throttle.. scooter just couldn't go any faster. |

Thanks to my Scala Rider, I had my phone connected to my helmet and I was able to listen to my music for the whole 9 hours of the trip :) |

The drive to Saskatoon is not very exciting, this was my view for pretty much the whole day. |

I made it to Saskatchewan... seems like they have tractors on every corner here :) |

Fiat introduced their new Fiat 500X and this was first time I saw it in person.. I have to say.. I'm not that impressed.. its a great looking car but too small for me and I'm happy to drive 500L, that I love much more :) |

This was first time for me to see the new Jeep Renegade in person as well. I heard some good things about this little car and I have to say, I liked it more than I thought I would... Interesting little car :) |

Oliver was super excited to see cars and wanted to seat in pretty much all of them, but the little guy was very tired after his soccer practice this morning and I didn't really get any photos of him smiling. |

DECEMBER 28, 2014 | ANNUAL PHOTO OF OUR HOME IN AIRDRIE |
|
For 8 years now its been a tradition of me taking a photo of our house with one of our vehicles in front of it. I took this photo from a little farther away, so it looks like the tree didn't grow much, but it did! This year we don't really have very much snow but still enough to prevent me from riding my Vespa :( This is not a new Vespa, but I noticed that I don't have an annual photo with it yet... so I guess its time :) Take a look at my previous photographs from 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. |

| 2014-12-31 13:49 | Sergei Belski: | Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you!! All the best in 2015! |
| 2014-12-31 08:02 | SonjaM: | What a neat tradition. I would never be able to do this as I cannot recall having lived in the same place for longer than three years or so. And there is some Vespa content ;-) All the best for your and your family, Sergei. Hope to see you out and about some more on your two-wheeler in 2015. Cheers from the Black Forest, Germany. SonjaM |
