    End of Exams Ride - POSTPONED til Sunday 13 July - CORO LOOP

    Right, so on the weekend after exams I think it'll be time for a good ol' fashioned SMC club ride. It'll make a great start to the holidays. Open to all riders capable of open road speeds

    tentative RAIN DATE SUNDAY 13th JULY


    weather looks good even if saturday looks like shite
    the forecasters aren't really accurate past 3 days mind you, so we'll have to play it by ear
    http://www.metservice.co.nz/default/...infcst_7daytas

    WHY: to unwind, relax, and have a fun day
    WHEN: end of exams - sunday the 13th of july, rain date weekend after
    WHERE: CORO LOOP! a loop of the coromandel peninsula, anticlockwise, with a detour through twilight road to kaiauia there and if time allows, miranda backroads on the way back.
    HOW: meet at uni gym at 9am, leaving the port caltex 10am at the latest. we will stop by BP botany on our way out. finish up back at uni about 5 or 6pm.

    there will be open road riding, alot of corners, the inevitable roadworks, about 450km of gas/rubber burning action, and should take the group about 7 hours provided everyone keeps upright and we don't stop too often - let's try to do it in less that 6




    There will be the usual pre-ride inspection to hopefully prevent avoidable damage/accidents and helmet/gloves/jacket are obviously a must.

    yeah it would be cool if we went a route that allowed people to come for the day and split off home or go further and stay overnight somewhere. Man that feels so adventureous
