This was my first event as a new member.

Good job from the organisers. Pity I could only do to the first 2 sections. :frown:

A very well organised run.... Well done Mike! Excellent route, excellent maps with directions (pity i can't read)!

Just a shame I hit two birds, got way lost up a dirt road (atleast I took some company with me), and a number plate bolt fell out.

We'll have to do it again in better weather next time.

Hats off to you! Job bloody well done! A great run! Excellent turn out and a really nice bunch of people.

Dave in the Golf passes on his thanks and also commends on a job well done.

Thanks Mike, I just have to remember to check the forum the day before!! :oops:

I got to the end eventually and took out section 3 :mrgreen:

Must say playing catchup on those roads was fun especially when the only car you come across hears you coming and pulls over just as you get to them! And there's nothing in the passenger seat to hold you back!

Thanks for a good run.

Thanks Mike for the great morning, really enjoyed the format!

Favourite: Section of road that was smooth bitumen and a string of corners that just went one after the other with no straights. The car and I had so much fun through there!

(ANYONE LEMME KNOW WHERE THIS WAS? I'M DESPERATE TO TAKE ANOTHER RUN THROUGH THEM TWISTIES)

Not so favourite: The the dirt road we accidently "discovered" which has made my lil princess soooo dirty!

Sounds like Peachester Road - nicely cambered section..?
One of my favourites of all time.

If you are ever coming from Maleny, turn right down Bald Knob Road (just after the information center). A nice bit of road. At the end, turn left, and you are at the start of the fun part of Peachester Road.

(visually:)

Bingo! VERY nicely cambered

Thanks for the directions!
