Gor - 28th of November 2010

Well last time the GOR was canceled a small group of us that still attended cruised up to Tektrader's place who then took us up to Puffing Billy so who knows, Im happy to cruise somewhere if the GOR is canceled.

 

That was a fun day also..except when it PISSED down rain at the end, when I had the wipers on going nuts and I still couldn't see

 

So far...

..Satellite looks good for Sunday so I reckon it'll be a go-er.
Remember last one! We had a couple of showers on the run down to the Otway Flyover then the rest of the day was magic!
Hell, I'm with Ross, I'll go even if it's on me skateboard lol!!!:br:

 

The only reason the previous GOR run occurred was not through bad weather. That is a fact of life. It was due to a tanker that had spilt oil on the road from Apollo Bay to Lorne (from memory) and there was also some trees knocked over the road in places.

Of course it is up to Kingy, but I would not expect this cruise to be cancelled due to bad weather alone. Man up people - it's only rain! As stated, Kingy will put up a status post on Saturday to advise all....

 

Mate - The only thing that will stop me from going is a hail storm.

I just need to know alternatives as I've got a friend from Sydney coming and I gotta show him something in Victoria if we got a message about cancellation.

:br:

 

lol no worries. Nice to see someone so keen!

 

geelong crew are happy to do a cruise to quennscliff if the gor is cancelled...

 

I'll be there 100% =D

 

On the money as always Col


the weather is not an issue,
its the safety of those attending and their cars that is paramount


At this stage we roll :br:



The big storms that went through last night were an easy 80~100Ks north of the Otways, we infact didnt get a drop of rain, nor were there any high winds. (storm activity was all north of the Princess highway)


At the moment in Lorne, its light grey cloud cover, with a very light breeze from the S/E, temp is currently 14degrees, visibility is approx 40Ks.......

Perfect performance car weather



fingers crossed.

And the crowd roaaarred...

....yessss !!!!!!!!

 

It will be a goer. Oh the Queenscliff / Bellarine race circuit thats not bad , althought we need to do that one at night with next to useless headlights like last time l.o.l

 

So what's the route and expected times? I'm leaving for torquay in about an hour so I will have to internet access from that point on. Walking around the street and waiting for a heap of zeds to go past doesn't work well for me.

 

got my first flat on the 300.
@ geelong getting it patched. now back to bambra. then back to geelOng tomorrow morning no

 

If I get another flat in the zed I'm pretty sure it will be the thing that pushes me over the edge.

 

meet at the z shed in moolap geelong
8.30 or at ceres turn off on geelong city bypass.. Don't think we are going through Torquay

 

not untill after lunch ..... even then we will be "onroute" to Apollobay .....
then Torquay.



ross79 ....... better give me a ring so we can work it out.

Isn't torquay part of the GOR??
Let me rephrase that. What's the closest to Torquay that this cruise is going to?
At this rate I'm going to have to make my own GOR run!!

 

I think we will be coming back though Torquay geelong is only 20mins away just come in to town and follow kingy to wherever he decides to take us, routes can change on the day, depending on what is safest

 

Not sure I can get out now. Lost our driveway an hour ago and our whole front yard is flooded. The rain keeps getting heavier by the minute. Can't even get a 4wd into our place now!! Determined to get out as I've already paid for our booking in Torquay!

 

I'll be coming from Anglesea & may end up just going straight to the cere's turnoff if running a bit short on time, are you guys planning to stop at the same little carpark as last year to meet up with all the melbourne guys?

cheers, tim
