Auckland - Taupo for TD3

Hey,

Anyone planning any rides down there yet? Any idea of departure times? Twisty or main road down?

**Mental Trousers** · 10th May 2006, 19:24

If anyone going to Taupo on the Saturday wants to hook up and do the good roads let me know. We can meet up somewhere near Hamilton and cruise down from there.

Will be going down on Saturday leaving Autobahn around midday.

That sounds about right Spank... you gonna take an easy cruise down or take the back roads?

Looks like I should be getting a lift down now, so no hard ride... the ZXR seat hurts

Current plan is to meet up with the Auckland crew out at Whatawhata then go down through Kihikihi, Parawera, Wharepapa South, Arohena, Waipapa, Maraetai, Whakamaru and backdoor Taupo. Excellent route. The roads are very decent and quick and the only reason they aren't State Highways is cos of the lack of traffic (seriously, who wants to go from Kihikihi to Taupo??). Not sure about the time etc yet but will sort things with Speedy.

Coming back Monday. I say we leave Autobahn at 12, so get there by 11:30.

Sorry gents, I'm carring and trailering down, someone has to pick up the pieces when someone can't keep the rubber down!!

Thought the trackday was at Taupo not Manfield ? Is this a bit too far south ?
