BREAKFAST RUN REPORT

U
Breakfast Run to Nurioopta
Sunday 30 th June 2019
nfortunately, I was unable to attend
the June breakfast run to Nuri, and
by all accounts avoided a very cold win-
ter’s day.
A total of 11 hardy crews and 21 people
did however brave the extremely cold
and threatening weather. Seven cars left
Veale Gardens with the remainder join-
ing at the Nurioopta linear park.
Conditions at the start in town weren't
too bad, but out in Barossa, a fierce Arc-
tic lazy wind came along which was
awesomely cold. It was lazy as it didn't
go around you, it went right through you!
The run itself was fairly straightforward
so I apologise for a couple of directions
that I am told were “a bit back to front”,
which is a polite way of David McNabb
saying they were wrong!
Gary Algate would have brought his
MGA, but had just returned from Perth
the previous day and when he googled
what the weather would be, it said rain.
but he was still on Perth weather!
Terry Cooke, a relative newcomer to the
club, is becoming a regular on the break-
fast runs, and this time it was great that
he brought along his grandson Brodi for
a ride in the red MG.
The day’s “bravery” award must go to
Nick & Denise Micklem who did the
whole thing with the top down on the “A”.
At Nuri a couple of fast food places, just
across the road from the finish venue,
enabled some to seek solace by grab-
bing a coffee from there, mainly to warm
the hands! Infact it appears that when
people saw how blue Peter Micklem’s
14
hands had turned everyone decided it
was about time to up sticks and go
home. John & Judy Roach however had
decided to make the most of the
Barossa as they were staying on for 3
days and a bit of a "holiday", half their
luck.
My thanks to both John Roach and
David McNabb for organising the run on
the day, taking the photos and providing
me with the words for this report. I hope
to catch up with you all at the next run.
