Easter Run

Postby mxrx » Tue Apr 10, 2007 9:13 pm

As this was my first weekend away run with the club I can say that it was very enjoyable, both the roads and the people.

Steve's instructions were very good, giving you confidence that you knew where to pick-up the run if you got lost or delayed, or head to the final destination. The weather was good too. No rain at all!!!

The Oxley was so good I did it again today on my way to visit a friend in Manilla just outside Tamworth

A fantastic time away. Thanks to Stephen (KK) for all his work and time in setting out the runs. 8)
The scenery on the back roads from Singleton to Stroud was spectacular. Then the run up the old highway over Bulahdelah Mountain was fantastic, so much so that I did it on the way home.

The Oxley Highway has to be the best MX5 road in Australia. :D

I thought the Great Ocean Road was “great” but the Oxley leaves it for dead. You see a sign that says 38 kilometres of winding road and your off twisting and turning through, 25, 35, 45 kph corners finishing at Ginger Creek for a break and then you start again with kilometre after kilometre of winding road with no worry about the boys in blue.
