I was saddened to read this morning in the "Times" that Olga Kevalos died aged 85 on October 28th.....

There is a full paged obituary dedicated to her and it makes fascinating reading, seeing just how much she was involved in a number of motorcycling disciplines not least such events as the International Six Days Trial. Not only did she compete for 17 years on James and AJS and Moto Parilla winning her first gold medal but also won a gold medal as works rider for Jawa.

When she gave up her competive motorcycling she became involved in pub quizzes and appeared on Mastermind.
