Answer to the last quiz – Neil Mandeville (RIP) our Dentist from Summerland – riding one of the great National sections we had at East Kelowna – ( Before the Mountain bikers took it over) – Both Brett and Bob got it.

Quiz today. Who is this on the “New” Bultaco

=========================================

The new On the pegs mag is now available on line – usually has some good content.

===============================

Entrees are now closed for the 2025 Scottish Six Day Trial – here is a copy of the 2024 program – Harry McKay always sends us these.

This year was not a good one for Dougie as an early number on one of the days when the “Burns” were like torrents had him losing a lot of points. Who knows who will win next year? – The Hemmo bros must be near top of the list.

==============================

Looking ahead to this weekend it’s the Costa Brava Vintage Trial – an event that is now rivalling the Scottish in the sheer number of applications. We will be watching to see how Harry does on his Fantic. – I’m sure he will have a great time with his Scottish mates.

Meanwhile the big wind storm certainly caused a lot of damage out at the Coast , and also here in the Valley we had a lot of trees down and pine cones everywhere. – not sure if we will be able to get out for one more ride, but it will be interesting to check out the damage done on the Westside.

=========================================

This old pic I took of Zoli Berenyi Jr at Blackfoot Park in Calgary just showed up on FB – I managed to sign Zoli for Yamaha after asking his Dad if it would be ok ( Zoli worked at Scona Cycle Honda in Edmonton – Seniors words were ” Go ahead Dave Honda is doing bugger all for the lad” – Zoli Jr still has his shop in Sherwood Park, but we have lost touch since I stopped travelling.
