Goulburn & Beyond

30 March 2014 / Adam Walker

Wow. A 350km run turned out to be a 500+km run.

6.30am came around and the roadsters started pulling into the meet point at Pheasants Nest service station. Some other car clubs had the same idea, as they were heading to the Auto Italia festival down in Canberra. Some fancy Italian classics were popping in, filling up and continuing on their journey. The most noticeable car was a '92 Maserati Barchetta (one of only 17 in the world). The sound from the exhaust was pure automotive porn.

Anyways back to the BreakFast Club. We had 5 cars meet up at Pheasants Nest, brimmed the tanks and got underway. A quick blast down the highway had us at Marulan where we met up with some members from Canberra. Continuing south along Jerrara Road and Mountain Ash Road had us in some pretty thick fog. The fog made for an interesting obstacle course as we were dodging road kill and cyclists with no lights on. We made it to Braidwood Road where the fog cleared to a nice sunny day after Wakefield Park just in time for Breakfast at Roselea Café at Lake Bathurst. The big plates of food had us all satisfied and ready to hit up the "Wakefield Long Circuit". This took us down through Tarago before heading east along Cullulla Road and Sandy Point Road. It was quite amusing watching a motorhome tackle the twisties down around Bungonia. We waved goodbye to the Canberra crew at Bungonia as we made our way back north to Marulan.

Getting back on the highway was slightly boring, so a right turn at Highland Way had us running parallel to the highway through Penrose and Bundanoon. Lordie took over from here and had us zig zagging our way north, through Robertson, Tourist Road and up and over the escarpment. We all pulled up and bid our farewells at Bargo before jumping on the mighty Hume for the remainder of the run.

Great day was had by everyone. The Roselea Café is highly recommended and worth a stop if you are in the area.

The next BreakFast Club adventure is next Sunday 6th April as we head to Bulahdelah to support the members running in the Nulon Nationals.
