Saskatoon in the Fall

Sunset on Friday night.

The brilliant people that run the city here in Saskatoon decided it would be a good idea to spend almost $500,000 to light up the crumbling Victoria Bridge (Oops I mean Traffic Bridge) like a Las Vegas casino.

Leo, Julian and I riding out of the Riverside golf course this afternoon.

I nearly ran into Julian seconds after taking this photo. I decided to put the camera away after that. :)

Riding down 3rd St you can see that the fall season is in full swing.


Yet again riding down 3rd St, I just thought that the red tree was pretty cool.

My bike out at Cranberry Flats.

Some hot air balloons flying around on Friday night.

Broadway Bridge


Looking up the river just about sunset time.


I finally decided to get some photos together and put another post up on here finally. These are a combination of photos from several different rides that I went on recently. It cleared up today and I finally got to go on a ride with Julian and Leo. They are expanding and resurfacing highway 219 that goes out to the Whitecap Indian Reservation. You couldn't ride a bike on it before because the road was too narrow with hardly any shoulder. Now it is super smooth and the shoulder is almost the size of a full traffic lane. We rode down there for a little bit until we got out of the city and then we turned and rode towards the river. We decided to ride to the Riverside golf course and check it out. It was quite nice with all the fall colors. As we were riding back I had my camera out for the whole trip and was taking photos on the bike, this was working well until I tried to get a closeup of Julian as I caught up to him. Just as I was beside him and taking a photo I looked around the camera and realized that I was headed right for him and almost going to hit him. I slammed my foot down to right myself and almost broke my foot. :) I guess that means I should stop to take photos. Anyway that's pretty much it for now. Ride safe and have fun.

I was wondering if you had done any research on a fairing for your bike. Did you find anything interresting? I figure it would extend my riding season.
Thanks,
