Can you spot the
Canadians? Find the helmets, and you've found our boys. This
is the beginning of PBP 1979 - the 10 a.m. start (84 hour group)
on Monday, Sept 3, 1979, at Stade Municipal, Montesson - and
here are two of the orginal Canadian randonneurs: Gerry Pareja
(forground), and John Hathaway (adjusting his front wheel.) The
third helmeted rider is not actually Wayne Phillips (as I had
reported here earlier) but an American rider. So missing from
this picture, are the two other original Canadains at PBP: Wayne
Phillips and Dan McGuire. The photo appears in the 1979 PBP "plaquette"
(results/follow-up booklet).
(This
is the second of three PBP photos from the club archives as we
count down to PBP zero-3.) |
