Gordon and I spent an hour trying to locate 1 of the 3 motorcycle hill climbing areas around Cochrane. We think we’ve found 1. These images are approx. 80 years apart. Do they look like the same plateau and corner of the river?
We are meeting with Ace Hy Motorcyle Club later this month to see their photos of 1930’s hill climbs to see if we can find the other 2 sites.
My Dad, Ken Raby, showed me an eroded area on the eastern end of the Big Hill. Where those pictures were shot are about where that would be. You can see the scar on the hill from the highway.
