Jeez guys you'll get me a bad rap, can be just a gentle cruise tomorrow with plenty of regrouping which is fine by me to stretch the ole limbs.
How about 9:30am at the Caltex hillcrest and head over to TeAroha via Scotchmans.
Everyone welcome.give or take +/- 60km/h
I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

I'll be there. As said earlier, I will finish off coming back through Gate Pa. I hope to meet up with 'Old Steve' from Tga. Be good to put a face to a KB name. He may come out to meet us. Told him, we will probably be having lunch at Whangamata.

Will be there. Need to be back before 1 so not sure how much of the ride I can do.

If I don't stop for lunch I should be ok for the whole ride.

Well - dunno what happened there - couldn't find anyone at Te Aroha. Nor at Paeroa. Nor at Whangamata.
Arthur peeled off at Paeroa to go to Tauranga. I completed the ride myself - got back to The Tron about 1.00pm. Got some nice vid too. Although a smeared bug on the lens cover didn't help.

Yeah we must have lost you near Te Aroha, we came in on the TA-Gordon rd & stopped to regroup then had to take a detour around the closed off main st & waited 10 mins or so.
I think you must have been in front of us. Sorry about that.
The kopu-hikuai was premo eh, very little traffic, stopped in Whanga at the bakery & then back via Waihi.
Got home around 2pm.
\m/ , Silent & me.

Was a great ride today, look forward to doing it again when I get the time.
Grumpy Old Bastard
No worries.
Y'know I almost went round the blocked off bit but decided against it. Then Awa came by so I followed him out of Te A. I must've gotten in front of you guys coz I was back at 1.00pm. Shoulda followed my first thoughts I guess.
Sure like riding that loop, although I did get stuck behind an SUV in that nice uphill just after turning south to Whangamata. By the time I got by the corners were mostly all gone.
Oh and I hit a bird just before we got to Parker Road. I don't think it was very big but it felt big enough. Luckily I was slowing for the intersection. Hit me on the collar bone. 30 seconds earlier might have been...erm..."interesting"...shall we say?
Tyres were great - chicken strips shrank a bit.

That was my fault we left you two behind. I forgot to wait at one of the intersections and when I waited at the next one you must have taken a different route. We waited 5 minutes on the south side of Te Aroha then another ten on the north side. Sorry about that.
Someone text me at around 11:45 but I didn't check my phone until we got to Waihi which was at 1:00. We arrived in whangamata at dead on 12.
Was a fantastic ride. Awesome roads and next to no traffic. Can't wait to do it again. Did spend quite a bit of money today though.
Grumpy Old Bastard
That was me. I was at Whangamata at the time - getting gas. And yeah, it does "spend quite a bit of money" dunnit?
Let me know next time you want to go.
