    Heard of a map ??
    Apologies for not having someone at the offending intersection , but one mistakingly thought that a sign post with Kopu to the left, & Whitianga/Tairua to the right might have been a clue ???
    That sort of thing happened on our group ride to Kawhia...all was going good until an intersection we went passed (sh22) had me wondering?
    So I turned my group around thinking I had got it wrong (we were heading for Narrower here at the time) and we doubled back taking in a very scenic route on the way to port waikato...stopped just past Nikau Cafe.
    THATS when we got the map out....
    No cell phone coverage out there.

    All in all, it was glorious day and the road was mint, never been there before and the detour was worth it.
    I was pissed at myself for getting it wrong more than anything...new roads and shit!

    hahahahahahahah That's funny shit! I blame you lot for assuming though When I came on that ride a few months back to the cafe out Thames way I nearly screwed up the left after the new Kopu bridge.

    Bugger I missed the ride, sounds like an epic, going up the coast instead of back to Kopu
