What are your thoughts on this? Last day of school holidays for Victoria I know - but the 28 day weather forecast reckons it will less chance of rain on that day.Fantastic twisties up and down the mountain - and there's a great historical trestle bridge to visit on the way home.Anyway, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What start and finish times are you thinking Gary as that's a long run.Only issue is that it will be bloody packed on the way home with school holiday traffic.

Sunday 18 April is a better date timing wise for me - but I think it is likely to rain - conditions for twisties.Just have to see. Those interested in a Mt Baw Baw run - do you have a preference for a date?Rudiger - I think it would be a 9am departure from Bunnings at Narre Warren (makes it easier to jump onto the freeway).

IMO more than 10 cars would be too much as to feel the full effect of the twisties you need to have some space to breathe. If you get more than this I'd recommend doing it in stages once you reach the climb to the top. Divide the group up in half or in 3 depending how many and have staggered start times, then have everyone meet for lunch up top.By far one of the most exhilarating fast and insane dips, corners, and undulating roads ive been on. When I went there were 3 of us and I felt another 3-4 would have been just a real nice balance. Great views from the trestle bridge too. My car will hopefully be sold by then so I wont be able to make it. Not really exciting doing those roads in a 4WD lol.Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's if it rains cos the roads will be too slippery. Edited 21/03/10 03:24 AM by EvilDaifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
