Beware if riding around the eastern Bay of Plenty (29 May)

[trailblazer]

well after a week of rain and flooding on monday and tuesday the roads round here suck. There is silty muddy crap all over the roads that if you find a damp patch is very slippery. While out on my ride today on my favourite roads Mc Coy rd and Stanley road there is clay all over the roads from slipps and still some slipps on blind corners. So if you are planning on riding around these parts please take care.

Stanley Rd ? Your keen.

nothing wrong with the sealed end. awesome flowing sections i have a absolute ball on this road.

Is that the Ohope end ?. The Stanley Rd I go into from the Taneatua end is a goat track full of logging crews , and trucks. Fark that on a bike.

yeah the ohope end it's awesome on a bike nice switch backs and a couple of hair pin turns

the taneatua end would be fun on a dual purpose bike though. :yes:

Your not wrong there, best done on a sunday though. Mid week there are trucks everywhere in there.
