The weather for our second “Post Covid” breakfast run saw another excellent turn out. Fourteen cars gathered at Veale Gardens on a sunny but chilly winter’s morning, good for the cars but perhaps less so for the people.

After a driver’s briefing by John, noting a couple of street name changes, signs to look out for plus some tricky turns etc, we left at 9am and headed eastward on the drive north to Salisbury. The route took in Payneham Road and Lower North East Road to get onto the lovely drive up Gorge Road. Luckily there were not many bikes or cars out, which made for a pleasant run up past the reservoir and on to Kersbrook. It was then time to turn west and head down the hills on Black Top Road towards Salisbury. A quick “U” turn (all very legal) on Main North Road took us into Carisbrooke Park, opposite the Old Spot Pub, for breakfast.

Enroute we were joined by a further six cars, resulting in 20 cars and 37 Club Members enjoying a responsible socially distanced breakfast for the next hour and a half or so, after which people started to drift off.

Worth noting is that Gary Algate was rather bemused to see his “old” MGTD appear on its debut run under the stewardship of Chris Hunt who now has several MGs in his impressive stable!

So another great Breakfast Run was over and we look forward to seeing as many people as possible on the next run.
