Answer to the last quiz – Triumph Factory rider Johnny Giles – only Peter from OZ got that one.

Quiz today – Who is this rider? Hint I took this pic in 1992 at the Scottish.

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

As posted Sunday – The TDN results were pretty much as expected with Spain taking the win – but some might wonder why Raga was chosen on the team rather than Busto?

Of course Raga has since posted that he is retiring so that may have been a factor. – Seems the time was tight which eliminated Team UK – a shame as they would have been on the podium.

Below are the results from the International class.

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

Yesterday We went to ride the Yankee Flats area, and what a surprise that was – it’s been many years since we were out there, and now the Forestry have transformed the parking area into a regular posted spot for off road bikes etc – they even have a toilet and the whole parking area gravel.

It was an interesting day as I took Mike on some of the old trails we used back in the day, when we actually hosted a few Trials events there. ( Some quite challenging) – Later we went over to check out the burned area above Silver Creek – this shot is from the ridge across the valley from the fire.

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

Also don’t forget if you are needing any Opti Oil – shoot us an email. We will have stock with us at the Trial this next weekend.

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

Next weekend we have the Duff ‘n ‘Dabs Trial at the Shuswap location of Martin and Julie – the Trial will be run all on their property with 1st class camping facilities – and the sections are bound to please. However as it’s a long weekend, some may want to take a ride up Crowfoot Mountain which is accessible right out of the Trial site. – We have been up there many times and can tell you it’s definitely worth making the trip. – This is a pic I took of Martin a few years ago threading his way through some nice flowers.
