Hey folks, im thinking of doing the loop tomorrow, will be going thru tauranga via pais pa, then on thru to waihi and on to Whangamata then, well you know the rest :D
Anyone who is keen to tag along is more than welcome. Any rider experience level welcomed.
The pace will be average, with a durry stop every half an hour or so.
Im thinking anticlockwise with lunch in coromandel then back down the western side.
Lettuce know if you are keen, looks like the weather will be ok :sunny:
i plan to be in Tauranga at about 10am
you are welcome to join in anywhere along the way.
Cheers, Allan.
EDIT:

At this stage was thinking about meeting at the autobahn at 930 possibly for a 1000 departure. Not sure of the route yet though. Possibly through the hunuas?

You are not wrong about that! First real wet weather ride in nearly 30 years!
Still, the upside of doing nearly 500ks in the rain in one day is that it steepens the learning curve somewhat...so no longer terrified of the rain..repectful, but not terrified. Thanks for that..have missed out too many rides because of the possibility of rain.
Good to meet you Zapf and Chickenfunkster and thanks Zapf for your advice.
615ks all up, great ride, thanks Kiwifruit.

happy to meet you all :) Was good to meet some of you finally.
I completely enjoyed the ride and the rain. it reminded you of the basics and it feels just like a newbie again :)
Was amazed how difference my new shock made, so its all good.
Will be great to see u all again sometime.

How cool that you have, so far, all enjoyed the day despite the rain!:rockon:
Imho, some of my best rides have been in the rain. I get this huge sense of achievement when I get home from a long ride in the rain. When you've beaten slippery roads, cagers out to get you, 10% visibility, freezing fog on the Mamaku's.....it makes you feel GOOOD to be alive! :doobey:
