DAY 3: Today we rode for 565km... Still in Oregon but about to cross to California :) As soon as we made it to the ocean, Tracy had to go and run in a freezing water under a pouring rain :) It has been raining for about half of the day today, I hope I can wake up tomorrow and start my day without having to put on all the rain gear. It will be very hard to beat riding Oregon coast during a very beautiful sunset, it was great! |

DAY 1: Total for today - 453km. Not a very pleasant ride today, it was poring rain, temperatures +7C and sometimes dropping to only +5C. Didn't take many photos, its not an easy thing to do when you all wet and cold :( We made it to Cranbrook, BC. |

DAY 3: Well, we finally made it home from our adventures :) Tracy rode on the back of my scooter with me for more than 100km so that was awesome! From Fernie, BC we took a long way home... soaking in hot springs for a bit and having a wonderful day of riding. All together I rode 1,335 km on my scooter this trip and it is now officially my longest ride :) |

|
DAY 2: Wow! What a day! My little Vespa finally made it to Montana, USA :) There are lots of highlights from this day such as riding in hail and pouring rain, riding through the fog, swimming in a very cold lake, etc. Unfortunately our trip had to be cut short, we couldn't find any place to stay overnight. We called every hotel in the nearest 4 or 5 towns and couldn't get anything :( ... so we drove through the night and made it to Fernie, BC where we were finally able to find a room. |

The drive through Glacier National Park was unbelievable, for sure the best ride I did so far on my scooter! Riding there really reminded me of a documentary "Riding Solo on Top of the World". |

| 2010-08-08 10:03 | Sergei Belski: | This little scooter is awesome! It really can take you anywhere! If I had money and time I would for sure ride around the World on it :) Ekaterina: Yes every car or bike I owned I have the sticker on it... I like it :) |
| 2010-08-07 11:56 | Art Yochim: | Sergei, Vespa really needs to put you on a retainer. Your Vespa adventures confirm how useful these machines are! |
| 2010-08-07 09:19 | Ekaterina: | Beautiful photos, as always. I just noticed you placed the BY sticker on your Vespa, I gotta show it to Ivan, he'll love it;) |

| 2010-08-08 10:06 | Sergei Belski: | Thank you very much! Katya, for sure drive to the US part of the park... the drive there is really really good! Maple: I put the flag on it just before this trip... thought I should represent Canada when I will be in US :) |
| 2010-08-07 15:32 | Maple: | I like the Canadian flag on yer Vespa! Nice touch :) |
| 2010-08-07 15:31 | Maple: | I see that Greg's 'up and adam'. Was he thinking..."GOD- I should have ordered a burger!" hehehehe |
| 2010-08-07 09:18 | Ekaterina: | Great trip you guys had! It must have been fun to ride the scooter down there. I never think to head down to that area ( and we haven't since the engagement photoshoot that we had there with you) but we really should. Love the B&W of Tracy, it's beautiful and Tracy looks so calm and in the moment. |
| 2010-08-06 09:03 | Dawn: | Great pictures Sergei, have a wonderful trip. Sure hope to see your everyday adventures. |

Earlier today I went for a little ride on my Vespa and spent some time around Calgary airport with my friend taking photographs of airplanes. |

| 2010-07-22 07:54 | Greggy Baby: | I think that guy in the blue jacket in much more cute than the deer. How about you hang a picture of him in your house. He looks like a HUNKA HUNKA BURNING LOVE! :P |
| 2010-07-22 07:35 | Tracy B!: | OH MY-OH MY-OH MY, LOVE the 1st picture! How did you see that and catch that? Where? So Cool! How much do you charge to get it printed and canvas transfered for our house? |

|
I spent a wonderful day with Tracy at the Calgary Stampede today! This year they had an Acrobatic Ice Show featuring such skaters as Elvis Stojko and Olympic Gold Medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, it was a pretty good show! On another note, I parked my Vespa on a $20 parking lot for free, I love my little bike :) |

| 2010-07-16 08:20 | Tracy B!: | Superdogs was moved to the Upper Level of the Big 4 Building, and the Acrobatic Rock'n'Roll Ice Show replaced them in Corral (which was AWESOME!). |
| 2010-07-16 07:58 | Greggy Baby: | Looks like fate made sure I didn't make it to Stampede this year. Did they have Superdogs this year? They usually hang out at the Corral. |
| 2010-07-16 07:16 | Tracy B!: | Thanks for a great time!! Hope your Vespa parking ticket isn't in the mail ;) |
