Postby Gracie » Mon Aug 27, 2012 5:41 pm

If you thought the Great Ocean Road was a lot of fun then you will LOVE our up coming High country run. All Mazda MX-5 Club of Victoria members are invited to join us on September 29th for what will be the longest and one of the most memorable runs of the year.

Looks good. Those with some energy left can go to th Rob Roy hill climb the next day!

Is the intention to have a leasurly drive or will those so inclined be allowed to drive briskly (at the speed limit but not slowing for corners)?

I think there will be plenty of opportunity for some "spirited" driving (within the road rules).

Hi, Ron get excited and beat me to posting this thread. I'm organising this run :)

You have to respect the roads we're going on... but you can see ahead and maintain a good, safe & fun pace within the speed limit.
I doubt you'll be bored. Hope to see you there.

Guess I'll be down the back driving at my usual pace, do you need a tail end Charlie for the run?

Sorry Ben, didn't mean to step on your toes, just I advertise all Central chapter events these days.

Being such a long run Bob, maybe we can "share the load" between a few of us? Something for Ben to think about maybe?

All good. Happy to take you up on that Bob..! Though the best part of the drive there isn't much need for one as it's a single windy road without towns etc for around 70km.

I'm not yet a club member. Is this run open to non-club members?

Thanks to Ben and Alex for a top run. A bit cold, a bit of rain and some light hail/sleet but just a great run. What better way to get away from all that Grand Final hoohah. 400 k's in 7 hours--fabulous! Cheers JohnO :D :D

What a fantastic run, especially the section just before and just after lunch, corner after corner after corner. Excellent job Ben, if you are interested I would love to see this on the calendar again next year. Will hopefully have the pics and videos posted by next weekend.
