    I had a day off .......

    It was time to 'test run' the GOR 08.........
    Well from Geelong onwards anyway ;)




    After we have Lunch at ApolloBay, we'll be heading to LaversHill ( distance -48ks ), a basic continuation of the GOR for the first 24ks, after which the road 'opens out' slightly into more open corners with some short straights inbetween and there will be less tourist traffic aswell as less police speed camera presence ( NB: less does not mean none at all ;) )

    This section is a pleasure to drive and will allow for a few of those with car sickness from the tight twisties to relax for awhile.

    From LaversHill we'll be heading off to ......... :D
    Well if I give out all the info there's no supprise to it now is there ? Rest assured the distance you'll be covering will be almost the exact same distance as if you simply turn around at ApolloBay and return to Geelong via the GOR.... Only differance is that you'll see far more of the GOR and you'll see much more as to what this area has to 'offer' as a driving experiance.

    I test drove all 3 routes I have worked out, one is my 'preferd one' but sadly comes down to VicRoads ability to complete the final 3Ks of resurfacing........ This road is currently closed to the public, and is not due to be reopened till the w/end before the GOR 08.......
    I was lucky enough to be handed a key to gain access onto this road and I must admit I had a ball driving it and hopefull we all will get to take that road in April.
    :cool:

    What ever transpires, we will be doing as close as posiable the distance from ApolloBay back to Geelong only via the 'inland' route. This should easily allow all members to get home in the same time as it has in the past.

    Fuel for some may be an issue, I went through 2 tanks today although I did do far more K's than I expected to do trying out differant roads, It may pay to top up in either Geelong or Torquay before hitting the GOR as fuel prices along the GOR are at a premium ( pun intended )
    :eek: the worst being $1.64 for PULP !
    They should however drop slightly now that the "tourist season" has basicaly finished and life returns to the quieter side...........
    :cool:

    thats mad:D...ive gone 2/3 routes some of the 3rd one(not alot thought) and the inland roads are the stuff that people will love...its a mix of stuff, but i dont want to ruin badzx's suprise:p...cant wait to see what people think of it:D...and the back way home wont be too boring with other people cruising too:D:biggrin:

    Forgot to add... :bash:


    The speed limit along the GOR is 80kph..........

    it returns to 100kph shortly after we leave ApolloBay and remains largely 100kph for the rest of the run
    :D


    Question......
    I have a pic of my test run I'd like to share and its on my mobile phone.....
    Any one wanna PM their number so I can send it to em for uploading to this thread ????
    ( old fart that has no idea how to do it :eek: )

    Hmm... I heard the Porsche group in Geelong were able to get the GOR shut for them for a while so they had a bit of the road to themselves. Dunno if we could fight for anything like that, I mean there is a few of us. (I think they donated though?)

    Then we all get to be in our own group no annoying little civics buzzing us.
