Bungonia Double Loop

19 October 2020 / Words and Photos by Rod Nicholas

The weather forecast was not looking promising. Almost certain rain, maybe heavy at times, possible thunderstorm. ‘Oh, goody’ I mumbled as I made my first coffee for the day, ‘just what we want for a run’. But by the time we were on our way the sky was not so bleak and I was humming Here Comes the Sun.

It wasn't quite the Running of the Sheep, but our leisurely drive through the countryside, which was at its very best, was a treat for all.

Three Gees was almost a pure red run, until a lone white ND RF rocked up. Even the swooping magpie thought it was a bit too much.

Steve's Loopy Lunch Run (Version 2)

03 September 2020 / Words and photos: Peter & Annemie Wilson

It was a clear sunny day in Canberra for a run on the first day of Spring. Three cars assembled at the Hall lay-by for the second Steve's Loopy picnic run to Uriarra Crossing. Ideal weather for a top down run under a blue sky and a slight breeze.

The weak sun glistened on the frost as I let the dog out in the morning. Ice was thick on the car windscreens. ‘Minus three’ my weather app proclaimed, but the sky was blue and cloudless. ‘Top down’ I thought as I prepared for John’s Wombat Wandering Picnic Run.
