We'll be taking that road too

Went for a trial run with rodders yesterday through the kopuku to ngaruawahia bit and I think I got it sussed, he showed me a couple of good bits we can use, it's a mixture of some nice windy stuff and a few longish straight bits, come out at taupiri so we'll hafta cruise 1 from there down to ngaruawahia.
I'll need a tail-end charlie for this one and prolly hafta have someone wait at each turnoff through this section. Either that or everyone can wait for the following rider so they all know where to turnoff. It's a bit short between turnoffs to be able to get back past you lot if I wait.....
You can enroll here if ya want

Now that you don't even have to answer to anyone when you go home, I can only imagine how much harder you'll be pushing!

As for the ride, I don't have a road going bike currently as my R6 is still in race format. Oh well... Next time it is then.

FYI... found lots of gravel on the hill in Hunua heading down to Hotel De Vin... nothing too bad... just don't go hooning down the hill all rite!

You guy still up for it if there's a couple of wet spots? It's not looking too bad at the mo, but not too good either....
The chickies ride has been canned 'till the rain date so I've invited them too ( not really a blokes ride anymore....)
Lemme know what ya think, unless it's really pissing down I'll prolly still go if others are keen.
