Quiz Name the rider
Answer to the last quiz – The engine in the pic is a Puch/Sachs in a Greeves Pathfinder which I did a Magazine test on in 1970 at Blackfoot Park in Calgary. Harlow was the only one who got it all correct although quite few people guessed the engine. This had huge cooling fins 10″ wide. A few were Imported into Canada with most ending up on Vancouver Island and some were also fitted into the Dalesman Enduro model.
Below is another pic taken of the Greeves on that day back in 1970 – check out the Calgary scene in the background – looks a bit different now.
=========================================.
This pic was taken from on top of the ridge above what we might call Yellow Meadow – quite a tough climb the way we came up with a ton of round rocks everywhere. Mike did some research and found these rocks came from the time a volcano erupted and Giant Head mountain was formed at Summerland.
From the Tourism Summerland Website:
‘Towering 500 metres above Okanagan Lake, Giant’s Head Mountain was formed when an ancient eruption shattered the original volcano, catapulting lava bombs across the prehistoric landscape. Named for the face-like profile carved into it by glaciers, the summit of Giant’s Head Mountain is accessible by a switchback road. Parking is available near the summit.’

Below is the section Pete and I built many years ago – now full of fallen trees – if you look hard – you will see me sitting on a rock at the base of the section – I got Mike to hike up to take pics as he is a lot younger than me.
