His lads are the top riders in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also good to get their feed back on the Mission Trial and from what I could gather ( language ) &#8211; The Natural sections with BIG uphills,  However I did talk about MY idea of what a good Trial is all about and an eyebrow was raised when I mentioned the FIM I put on in 1975 had a 69 mile loop!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Outlaw-camper.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Outlaw-camper.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Outlaw-camper-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer to the last quiz &#8211; Scottish Champion Jamie Galloway &#8211; correct answers from Brett, Bob, Roger and Pete Varey, and Peter from OZ who had a family connection through sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quiz today &#8211; Guess who &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nige-on-a-Suzi.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nige-on-a-Suzi.jpg 501w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Nige-on-a-Suzi-251x300.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>=======================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>========================================== Well!
