Would wet weather keep you from taking your LBC on a BMCU drive? If you answered “yes,” you may be surprised to find yourself in the minority.
Amazed as you may be at this fact, there were 18 member vehicles on the First Annual Gary Meldrum Eureka Run!!! That also means that we had 27 members enjoying a great drive and excellent food at B’s Western BBQ in Eureka.
Now comes the MOST AMAZING THING. I checked the Sign-in Book from last year’s Eureka Run and I had to count twice to make sure what I saw was correct: 19 vehicles and 27 members!!!!!
We gathered at 10am, under umbrellas, in the rain. Incredibly, there was a lot of smiling and laughter. Ritt’s Andrew found it fun to run and try to stay dry between the umbrellas. Here’s something else that was interesting. As we headed south from Saratoga Springs, the rain stopped and the road dried! This made the drive much more enjoyable for everyone. Sure, coming home was entirely in the rain as some members continued on the loop and returned through Tooele and others retraced the original route to Eureka.
Never let it be said that a little rain or bad weather will keep the BMCU members from having a good time with their British Iron.
BTW, if you have pictures that you took of the drive, please post them here or send them to Rob Foye, our Newsletter Editor.
Thanks to the 27 hearty souls that enjoyed a fun day on the First Annual Gary Meldrum Eureka Run.
