Now that I have your attention, I get to subject you to FAMILY PICTURES! Andrew Fedoris is second from the left (his wife Renée and their children on the right). Andrew was Marv and Loretta’s border in Saskatoon almost 40 years ago.Fred and Sharon. Sharon is Marv’s niece.What prairie ride would be complete without an elevator picture.… or bales of hay.Loretta trying a cycle with easier balance. Balance was okay, but it was too wide for the highway shoulders.Thing about traveling across the country by bicycle, you get all the highlights. World’s largest lily, everyone.Thought I’d finished with the family pictures, didn’t you?Cole. Loretta’s grand-nephew. Parents are Darren and Elaine Young.Marvin taking cake from GG. Cody and father Darren on the right.Great-Grandma Grace and Cody.From the left: Darren, Greg Edeen, Art (Loretta’s brother) and Linda Young, Elma Edeen, and Elaine.Young’s Garage! A landmark. I had my first job here, pumping gas. (Grandpa didn’t pay me, I thought it was fun.)83-year-old Mary Caciona from Blaine Lake poses with Loretta.An incredibly scenic shot for those of mountain-lubbers who think there is no great scenery in Saskatchewan.Jean and Gus rode Loretta and Marv out of Saskatoon. (That didn’t sound right.)The wind.The sky. They found the clouds incredible.Bob Zeilstra.Alberta students en route to Halifax to visit a friend.The wind again. Would you want to ride against that?Loretta contemplating the wind, psyching herself for the ongoing ride.A highlight for Loretta. She loves this author.They try and take their bikes into their room. But it often means some tough navigation.This is a classic prairie scene. Yellow canola against a cloudy sky. See the narrow shoulder? That’s gravel just to the right. And this wasn’t a particularly bad part of the road.
