Seeing sun is rising around 6am nowdays(according to metservice?), for those of you who can wake up "early" what about sun rise viewing ride?

I don't know where is good spot for it but somewhere like

Eastern Beach, Beachlands, Maraetai, Kawakawa bay, Orere Point, Kaiaua

or if we going todo long ride somewhere east side of coro is good for it??
Suggestions please and we shall do it, little breakfast before the ride, big breakfast after sun rise! :)

Ride to Piha or Muriwai for Sun-set viewing ride would be nice too :) (and I guess most of you can make this ride more than morning!)

just make sure you have tinted visors or sunnies or plan it so you end up goin to a cafe or havin breakfast and avoid sun glare....can get pretty bad in the early morn hours:cool:

We go there before the sun rise and have a look at sunrise when we stop. Beach would be nice. Then we can have breakfast at local cafe or somewhere :D

Try St Helliers. Easy cruise and good view at the destination. I once did that, great pleasant. And personally I wouldn't want to go all the way to Muriwai in the early morning ride... Too far.

It's your call, I ain't stopping ya! ;)
