Whangamata beach hop

[GIXser]

Just checkin if there are any people that want to go for a ride to Whangamata at the end of the month for the Whanga beach hop-- im thinkin about going down saturday morning for the day,weather permitting--

maybe leave from shell clevedon and take the back rd, this will be a fast pace ride-:innocent:however evryone is welcome, you set your own pace--

[SlashWylde]

Aww yeah... I missed that one last year. I'd be keen. Your route suggestion sounds like a good one too.

[Motoracer]

I'd be keen for a bit of that. Count me in! :)

[texmo]

Yep I will be there and the scooters get to lead all the motorbikes in...

It is now called Whangamata Scooter Hijack.

[GIXser]

Yeah my fav bits of road.. im in if no workies.. but im not going to the fuckin beach thats all.

Mate i dont think we want to see you in your speedo's !!!!:gob:

also at this stage im thinkin of leavin shell clevedon at about 9.30 im guessing its gonna take about one and a half hours to get there, maybe with a quick stop in kopu add another 15 minutes--

[Sutage]

hehe can someone post directions to whangamata
im going to ride down either thursday or friday prob around 3 if anyone else is thinking of those times !

[aff-man]

And there is the understatement of the week..

[GIXser]

[aff-man]

[claire]

We'll be there but taking our coupe not the bikes. Hope the weather clears up though will suck if its raining.

[Scouse]

Hey GIXER Ill prolly tag along why dont we go the Paeroa Waihi way instead of through Kopu Its a much better way to go

[aff-man]

Yeh that road into whanga from waihi is awesome... won't be if there are stacks of cars and :Police: along it though....

Oh and i'll be in ... but weather depending. As of today the weather ain't looking to hot for this weekend but then they are almost always wrong.

[justsomeguy]

hey GIXser, ill prob see you guys there too. was thinking of heading over fri night/sat morning. would be cool to catch up with you all again. :)

[GIXser]

Hey GIXER Ill prolly tag along why dont we go the Paeroa Waihi way instead of through Kopu Its a much better way to go

yeah it would be a good ride' only thing is the traffic, Whanga grows up to 70,000 people,my reckoning is that traffic, is gonna be bad, the kopu to whanga rd(as you all know) as some long stretches, fo "safe "overtaking, if however if we took off early we could do a semi coro loop" kopu -thames-coromandel-whitianga-taurua-whanga, there wont be much traffic comin from the coromandel side me thinks,
up to you folk wanna leave a bit earlier, (not to early mind you) and do the semi coro loop ending in whanga???

also i dont know if "im" cruising back from whanga to auckland on the day,, i feel some :drinkup: comin on which means no:ride:

[Scouse]

Mate you obviously havent ridden the bit between Waihi and Whanga.... the Karangahake Gorge is something into itself(but you gotta run the gauntlet there cos they lowered the speed limit to 80k...meh)

Can we reword the poll please? Option 1 should now be known as the 'soft option' and Option 3 'Giddy up' :doobey:

Mind you............

:whocares:

:whocares:

Mate. ridden the gorge manier times,and i would rather take that ride.... i am just mindful of the fact that whanga growsup to 70000 people ,in the weekend cos of the beach hop------ what road do you think they take???? only two roads into whanga!!!! do you wanna be stuck behind a mass of cars in the gorge" not me, and ofcourse the other factor is danger, in overtaking and people making stupid manouveres-- at least the other way in you have a chance of overtaking, (more straights etc)---and i think it will be safer--

anyway food for thought--

however if we took off at say 7 in the morning there will be little traffic-- and than the road may be a good option--

[Two Smoker]

Gutted... only $9 in the bank account... Sounds like a fun ride, gutted i can't make it... Have fun :niceone:

[Scouse]

Cool Option three looks like its nuged ahead of the soft option(TM Kornholio)

[Scouse]

GIXER if you whant to change the meet up time you maybe should get onto that now

[Qkchk]

You guys might have to take a inflatable with you with all this damn rain........

[Kornholio]

Lol yeap Option 3 might be a bit of a worry unless your bike can float :/

[GIXser]

[Kornholio]

Just been talkin to a mate in Whangamata and said rain buggered off a couple of hours ago and has cleared up now...was going to go over with him in car(has a bach there) but saving up for semi-expensive bike bill

[aff-man]

we could bust it out to mareatai for a coffee then round to clevedon and back over the hill to whitford if ya like...... maybe meet wihitford Bp at 3:30?

Not much to do cityside except play with the traffic and hide from the coppers.
