  • todays test run !

    Couple of us newbies with MK4's met up at North Richmond (a last minute thought) @the new Gloria Jeans & headed up Bells Line of Rd through on to Lithgow then on to Lake Lyel & a spot of lunch (great little pool table too) at the Tarana Hotel @Tarana www.bluemts.com.au/taranahotel. did a loop run around Lake Lyel back on to the Great Western back to Lithgow, Mt Victoria , Springwood & the bends at Winmalee back into Richmond & headed off from there. From my place near the Australian Hotel @ Mcgraths Hill the whole trip return was about 240kms. The run gave me a great chance to streatch my legs on the back roads heading to Tarana & put the Giac, cams etc to work.... Quietly pleased I must say!
    Wondering if anyone else has done that run or if anyone would like to do it again with us....hoping to do another one shortly..(not sure if it should be done between the double points period).. PM me if you are keen or just post your thoughts.

    Good to hear you had great fun! We've done a "smaller version" of that run before. We started off at Eastern Creek on the M4/Great Western Hwy, then had a small BBQ/break at Wentworth Falls followed by a run home through Bells Line of Rd to Richmond. It was my first time through but I enjoyed it lots. I'm sure a fair few of us wouldn't mind doing that again!
    Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.
    Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

      The Lake Lyel to Tarana was my first, I knew the other bits so cut loose a bit. Really enjoyed the open space the roads were quiet around the Lake. It would be great to travel in a group the pub there has reasonable meals & a BBQ.

            I'm glad you enjoyed the run. I hope you can take me on a nice run when I come up in a few weeks.
            When you upgrade the suspension, it will even better.
            Cheers

              How do people feel about meeting up the sat of the long weekend coming the 26th Jan? Say meet up at Gloria Jeans at North Richmond between 8 &9 am on Bells Line of Rd..... head up Bells.... through Lithgow .... acrosss the GW HWY then to Lake Lyell etc back to the GW HWY back through Katoomba even do the bends at Winmalee near springwood.... the Yarramundi end has A radar crew that works that end so some would have to be cautious too. I guess from that poing we could disperse from there.... From my end I'd like to see how the coilovers have settled by then! There seems to be some interest to do the run sooner than later too. We could post some great pics as its great landscape around there even a lookout at the Dam .... I'll see if i can get a link for the google map for the area? Hope to see you along
              Let me know if you are keen .Thanks for the posts so far !
