Hi Mike,your back from your OE then.

Definitely keen on another TTTTT ride :soon: would suggest early October as daylight savings is with us then and MARKS has posted a ride on ADV rider for the 26/27 September to do the Whanga Rd - Fishers track and the 42nd Traverse.

Hopefully this shitty weather should be almost gone by then :sunny::sunny::sunny:

[johannvr]

I enjoyed the TTTTT last year, so would be keen on another similar one. Sept/Oct sounds good. :sunny:

[junkmanjoe]

yip put me down...

Thanks Colin the more help the easier it is. But let's wait and see what sort of response we get first.

[trustme]

A definite maybe, if work permits I'm in but I don't like my chances

[offrd]

Well the new missus says i can get another bike:scooter: and she keen to come along too.... Was a great ride last year!

Will have to see if me brother wants to give his WR450 another go at cutting him in half this year too!:moon:

Dont think he want to sleep in the same cabin as triboy this year tho.....:slap::bash:

I dont mind staying in the same room as cary again but mate you will have to bring your own missus, no test rides on mine:2guns: ha ha ha ha!

I'm keen!

Re: suitable dates...
I've got plans for a loosely organised coro ride on the last weekend of November (basically I'm organising a party at Fletchers bay that weekend, and you lot are invited :D)
And I was thinking of doing a cruisy BOP ride some time in October, but because I haven't got my crap together and decided on a date, I'll work around everyone else.

:Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::innocent:
I'm in! (for both).

[That looks like fun]

Mr Young
he said with the deepest respect :innocent: Do you or Phil have any knowledge of the Jury Rd? Was reading a Mountain bikers book the other day and it claimed the road still existed as a paper road. Apparently the farmer thinks it doesnt but the law says its still there. Had a look on google earth and it looks good :wari:

Bloody slack adventure riders,they are all still hibernating in their caves :finger::spanking:

As the saying goes Mike ...... Build it and they will come :brick::brick::brick:

[ttrkiwi]

both the Coro trip and the Naki.

Bring on the summer months.....

Dear Mr 'that looks like fun', as a keen farmer myself I can happily say that youall be glad thats its not the paper road across MY farm that you are so extatic about.:devil2:

Respect. Its sadly lacking a lot these days.:nono:

On a happier note, me,myself and I would be most interested in another trip around your area Mike, will keep it in mind if I am free. Might even get a chance to give 'the other side of the fence' kinda story!!!!:rolleyes:

There's another side of the fence??!!:Pokey:

[Cary]

[I]Cary - are you thinking of doing another Coro ride this year? Mike

Yep I'll be in for a TTTT.

Was thinking of a late October ride for Coromandel but will have to see what else is going on with Rosie etc.

End of Nov would have been ok Rosie but work is going to get in the way for me to organise a full on ride for that weekend. Will make it up for the night tho.

Will sort one for the last weekend of October although will base it in Coro township. (31Oct, 1 Nov)

I thought a paper road was public property?

Does the fact that someone owns the land either side of a public road give them the right to limit access to it?

The current Rosie-plan is to invite everyone I know to camp at Fletchers bay on the weekend of the 28th/29th. It will be a fairly loosely organised, communal pot-luck self-catering kind of thing, but I'll probably bring BBQ and a marquee-thing (in case of dodgy weather). Saturday I'll likely be mountain biking, so ADVers will have to make their own way to Fletchers bay (or someone else will kindly offer to organise/lead something for that day). Sunday morning I'll be keen for an ADV ride, probably around to Stony bay like we did last year.

Depending on how organised I get, I may be able to arrange beer/food for the ADV crew, to save carrying too much crap on the bikes.

I'll try and behave :yes:

[young1]

Cool it looks as though there is interest out there. I will have a chat to Phreaky Phil who knows the Naki back roads like no one else I know. Thank you Colin (That Looks Like Fun) you are more then welcome to help.

My initial thoughts are to do something similar to last year, maybe reduce the kms on day 1 slightly. It would be good to get up the mountain somehow too but we need to see how that all fits in.

May also look at what other country pubs are out there who can put up with a bunch of bikers!!

Be great to catch up with you all again (yes even you Marks!!!) KT has been on the battery charger so she is all set to go!

Apparently the farmer thinks it doesnt but the law says its still there. Had a look on google earth and it looks good :wari:Jury road has caused a lot of controversy over the years. While it is a road, it runs through TeWera forest. I'm not sure who controls the forest but it is not easy to get into. If you get permission you require something like $1000000.00 public liability insurance and last time we tried , the only time we could get in was over winter. In the summer its too dry and no one gets in. Some years ago "Diesel" tried to use the paper road method to gain access for a tunnel tour and the forestry got shitty and said they had survey proof that the road as it exists does not follow the "paper road" and if he used the road they would do him for trespassing. John Nicholson got involved and managed to pull some strings and calm things down and Diesel was able to use it. When I set out the Briiton ADV ride some years ago we managed to gain permission by using the TeWera camp as a base. Last time I enquired this approach didnt work.IMHO Its NOT worth the trouble unless your running a big ride.

[junkmanjoe]

where is Fletchers bay, some where by the sea i guess

Well if thats the case I won't bother with the Oct ride, maybe somewhere else.

[Crisis management]

I'm in for whatever's going on, are any bridges involved?

[young1]

There must be a story there that I am not aware of?

Actually there is an old swing bridge that is now closed to 4 wheel traffic that I would like to include in the route (although I need to check how wide the barriers are at each end - I do fit without panniers but not sure about with them!!)

even though we all know you have a fat orange arse we'll still ride with you - provided you bring the rum :yes:

Perfect for Iain's 950, the bridge will swing wildly so he will ride across straight as a die while the rest of us wobble across :lol:

Cheers for that Phil, came across it the other day listed in a Mountain Bike trails book but thought that I had better check before I went out there exploring :yes: We know how sensitive and easily upset some who are on the other side of the fence can be he said with all due respect :innocent:

[young1]

We are looking to hold this ride on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October.

Just sorting out accomodation options at the moment, but we will stay at the Awakino pub on Friday 2.10.09. As those who have stayed there before know this is a great place to start a ride, good food, accomodation and prices!

There will be a visit to the iconic Whangamomona pub for lunch and for those of you who want there will be a chance for a quick look at the world famous Whanga Road.

Saturday night we are looking at staying at a former convent, yes I know that may be a problem for you sinners who ride BMWs!!!

Again a good mix of gravel and tar seal.

Once we have it confirmed I will post a new thread etc with details of how to book your accommodation.

For now though if you are going to do this ride can you reply to this so we can get an idea of numbers.

Mike and Phil

[Cary]

Dam! more days off i'll have to take. 90% sure i'll be there.

Some one has to say it so that i'll be the 3 & 4 Oct? :spanking:

[johannvr]

Yep, I agree Cary - Saturday 3 & Sunday 4 October it must be for this year :rockon:

Either way - I'm in for now Mike :Punk:

[young1]

I wondered what you guys were on about and then I realised...

Dates have been corrected.

MXNUT I have your message, it would be good to see you both here!

[young1]

There doesn't seem to be much interest?

Pics from a ride today with Phreaky Phil.

First pic, Phil playing on the beach, 2nd the track up off the beach and the third a coffee stop in Okato.

[offrd]

Well once i buy a bike in the next few weeks, i will be in with the better half! so will my brother on his WR450, he might not realize it yet, but he will be going too!
Will Phil be bringing his better half? what about Rosie?:scooter::scooter::scooter::done:

[ducatijim]

Oh well, I'll have to pass with those dates...will be back in the territory then on our way down to Melbourne.:bye:

Prolly just as well...seems a scrap could brew over some folks insistance that they should be able to ride some so-called 'paper road'!!!! ( would be good to know, honestly, how most townies would like all sorts of odd-bods traipseing thru 'their' backyard if there was a public easement or such like thru it?

It would be a very differant story thens my guess!!!:whocares:

Um, I assume I'm bringing my better half, but I haven't actually asked him yet. :confused:

Yep, those dates look good, another Naki tour would be great!

See ya at Awakino :apint:
