A Few Historical Artifacts
by Eric Fergusson

Dan McGuire, one of the original BC Randonneurs from 1979, has passed along a treasury of historical artifacts, documents and photos from the early years. I've been slow to get to it, but I'm eager to share this stuff. Today I put a few things on the web sites. They're in logical places, but not necessarily pages that you would think to visit. Three are early control cards and one is the 1983 PBP route sheet. I've included a few images here, but encourage you to also follow the links where there is more thorough coverage and context.

   

Control card from first 1000 km brevet in BC in 1979. See BC Artifacts page.
(Actually not much on that page yet.)
