i did the GOR only three weeks ago or so, it was my tenth time, and i did it in the passenger seat of a cessna VH-LCY 172, high above the road (1000 feet) 7 hours total from Parafield...

i wanna do it again in the 5 soon... maybe do tassie as well...

Ive flown a 172 and an even smaller 152. Couldnt think of anything worse than flying one for 7 hrs though

Hi guys. We got back home tonight. Thanks to everyone that turned up for the run. I had a great night.

Clubmanmc certainly knows his way around the hills. It was great to follow someone with a bit of local knowledge. There's no way I would have been having as much fun if I was trying to find my way around there by myself. You guys are lucky you have such great roads so close to home. And one of the best things is that you all seem to take advantage of it. We saw quite a few cars/bikes hooking in a bit while we were cruising around. :mrgreen:

Though all the cyclists are a bit of a worry sometimes.

A special mention to Adam. Pity your car didn't want to join in on the fun with the rest of us. You should have grabbed a lift with someone else and sorted your car out after dinner. Hopefully you'll get it sorted pretty soon. And also special mention to Randy for hobbling over to say G'day. I hope your legs get working again in time for the tour. :mrgreen:

Cheers
Garry (black mx5)

PS Whats the go with that bus! It was quicker than a few of the guys on our MX5 club runs. I didn't know buses could go around corners that fast. Very impressive.

It wasn't going very fast when it was behind the truck, that corner is long and almost completely blind so I backed off jus in case there was anything in front, and I still had to jump hard on the brakes, then watched everyone bunch up in the mirror, the dark NA almost had a moment there!

The bus did start to move afterwards, but once the temp guage started going up and I knew how far I had to go to get to somewhere I could pull over I was wishing the bus would go a bit faster...

Sorted it out the next day, new thermostat has had it running fine again

Oh, what did people order? I know the hotdog is really good, did anyone try the hamburger?

SuperMazdaKart · Postby **SuperMazdaKart** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 8:02 pm

i had the giant german hotdog.

yeh i did think it humourous about the bus, bet the passengers felt they were in the Speed movie lol. adam & mike know the hills too well, always an effort to just keep behind them :lol:

Clubmanmc · Postby **Clubmanmc** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 10:40 am

Yeah we are spoilt here,
nice roads great food!!
I had the hamburger (had it before too many times!!)
even victorias roads are far from them..

was great to see that you were still there, i stopped at the major intersections so they knew where to go!

maps next time hey??

SuperMazdaKart · Postby **SuperMazdaKart** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 1:44 pm

no time to read maps on the go, they're only useful once one is actually lost :lol:

oh well, this time was a more comfy drive for me. certainly wasn't trying like i did on the VH run when BOYRCR Brett came along. that drive kinda scared me (was thrilling though), "yikes heading into a rock wall, turn! turn! turn! whewww.."

best to read up to a point and then work from that point to the next point..

but after your lost its a bit hard to get back on track!!

Oh that was me.

I rounded the corner only to suddenly find everyone had stopped !

I steered slightly under the sudden braking so that my car would end up in the opposite lane rather than rear ending Vu's car.

Luckily my car stopped before entering the opposite lane anyway. Gotta love light cars.
