so the start is at kawerau, where is the end?

[trailblazer]

looks like ohope beach. wonder what back roads the ride uses. would be an ok ride for a good cause.

kawerau to ohope? thats not very far. hmmm. i ll think about it. i may tag it onto the end of a longer run. i cant be arsed with all the hassle of getting me bike outta the shed and getting me gear on for a 30 minute ride.

I fell the same might look at doing it on the end or start of another ride aswell. I have to admit though my ride today was pretty shitty i didn't evan get out of an 80km area only went from ohope to town and then back over to ohope.

i used to take my bike to work in uk in rain, snow wind, whatever, now i work at the bottome of my street so i dont do the commuting thing now. i ll only ride for fun, and therefore, if i go for a run out, i like to go for a proper jaunt. riding in suburbia is frustrating beyond belief on a 1000 cc sports bike. anyhoo. hopefully get some more track time this summer

Would be great to see a good turn out of KBrs for this charity ride. I hear that there is a DVD player up for a spot prize from badge sales... You could be the person from the far far away place that takes out the furtherst travelled prize. This ususally from Auckland.
