Answer to the last quiz was Martin Spriggs from Vancouver Island riding in the National Trial we hosted in Calgary back in 1971 – now referred to as “The Snow trial” – The usual crew from Western Canada got this one although nobody knew what the event was, except Stan – who checks the blog each day while sitting on the beach in Mexico!!
