Good morning Trials fans we hope you all had a great weekend – the last one in October, but what a gorgeous one we had for weather here in the OK valley – Glad to say we got out for a ride at Summerland – the first and last one for this year – but what a great time Mike and I had – We were surprised to see quite a lot of snow down there, but this only added to the fun as I showed Mike parts of the old Outlaw loop, with our last stop being at the section we called OK Devil’s Staircase – but I think we will now just call it “Pete’s Place” it’s no longer rideable, with more fallen trees, but I was pleased to see the small plaque of Pete still on the stump from a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the nice TRS 250, with the Xtrack kit fitted, which having the seat worked out great when I got tired – It was a completely new area for Mike to see, and he was surprised at all the big round rocks that are scattered all through the Valley -in fact some places were like riding one long rock section. Glad to say I managed OK with the TRS performing as it should, and Mike enjoyed the challenge on his Beta Evo 300 Factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is Mike in his Wulf riding gear in the bright sunshine this taken in the meadow where we normally see a mass of yellow flowers in the springtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite cold out of the sun, so glad I wore my Wulf jacket plus the warm neck scarf that Taff brought me back from Wales. – this is were we stopped for a rest at the top of one high ridge to enjoy the view of the Valley, showing Summerland in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

==========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had quite a lot of correct answers to the last quiz – Pete Varey-Harlow-John Kitchener-Brett-Mark ONeill -Roger Boothroyd – plus we got a message from Pat Morrow, who is back in Japan – he said he finally managed to hook onto the new blog format and likes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bike GOV 132 was of course the famous Ariel that Sammy Miller transformed into a World beater, although this particular pic is of the very first Ariel which as issued with that license number in 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz for today – What engine is this and what is the Trials bike it was used in??<\/p>\n\n\n\n
