Woke up this morn and thought wow what a nice day, then thought, I feel like a great ocean road cruise...
Any vic aussieveedubbers wanna do this one day . Or has this been done too many times before ?
cheers
ree
we did this drive Jan 2-6 this year.
beautiful drive.
for anyone that's never done it, GO DO IT
Man! that road rocks!
It needs to be done on a motorbike though to really get the best.
(pulls nomex undies over head)
I would be keen but because its so far away for me I wouldn't be likely to do it again unless I was in the area already, but its just an awesome
road and I can thouroughly recomend the Cafe One 5 Three, which is at 153 Great ocean road Apollo Bay, although the menu looks a bit expensive when
you first see it, the food more than makes it worth the effort.
It would make a good target point for a cruise.
I would recommend this day out whole heartedly.
Cheers Tony
Totally agree... I went for a blast up to Kennet River (about 20ks short of Apollo Bay) and back in one night... Even if you have drum brakes like I
do, you can still take it at a decent clip coz its not really that hilly compared to Mt Dandenong anyways.... snigger...
I'd love to go for a blast/cruise when my oval's back and running...

Blue...you'v got balls!
twas a blast!
cycled from Sydney to Adelaide via the coast.
Hitched across the Nullabor to Esperence and cycled into perth.
Hitched home via Darwin
Sat for 3 days at 3 Ways waiting for a lift. Saw 3 cars in 3 days
Biggest regret was not cycling across the Nullabor. Would have been easy i reckon
I did the Great Sub-Ocean Road on my Ducati. great road except for the falling rocks and permanent freezing rain.
Mind you, it started raining at Wodonga, and didnt stop until Mt Gambier. NSW might get more rain per annum, but it seems to me that Vic stretches
that rainfall to last all year whereas NSW gets it all in 4 hours :P
would definitely be interested in cruising down this road with other veedubbers. Organise the date etc and I'll be there.
Was just down there with some friends but without my car. We're planning on going down in Jan 2005 so I'm definately going to take mine
down then!
kewl
what if we say 1st or 2nd weekend in march, give us a bit of time to get some dubbers together
ree
sounds good, let me know where we are gonna meet up and i'll drag ms cabrio along.... lol
The weekend of 6th of March is my weekend of work, so either sat or sun of that weekend, hows that sound ? I reckon we meet somewhere in geelong
near the torquay rd.....start there,
Cmon dubbers, Jen,??? Kol, ???? Splitty chick,???? whoever , join us
cheers
ree
perhaps the ppl from Melbourne can meet you halfway then...
Its not so bad for me cause im near warrnambool and at the end of the day dont have to travel home..but the others would have to get back to melb
way.....not unless we do it on a saturday and everyone camps over at my joint and we party, then they break their trip and travel home sunday.
Just an idea, plenty of camp and car spaces at my place.
cheers
ree
am from werribee so those from melbourne and further could meet here and travel to geelong to meet up with you at torquay rd.
kewl, whatever goes , im easy, as long as I cruise that ocean rd
ree
