According to that link, it shows a cold front sitting right over the Coromandel at noon tomorrow

May come along, but if this map is correct, then it could be a little "damp"

Work out how far it is from Hamilton to Kopu.

The loop from Kopu to Kopu is under 200kms. Well worth it.

Does the "coro" loop include Whangamata -> Waihi -> Paeroa? That's the best bit IMHO. I'll be there regardless of the weather

Did a belated ride up to just north of Tairua, left at 1.30 from Thomas BP. Wet's were put-on at Kopu but hardly needed.
On return trip even more dry roads. Managed to get back to Hams around 6ish

Gah...bugger...etc...etc. Anyway, the folks in the cafe were amazed I was bone dry underneath the gore-tex.

Now swithering to pop over to Whanga to promote the "Japper" cause. :rockon:
