Was thinking about an afternoon ride, perhaps head off noonish?

However if its a great day then a morning ride would be really nice.

Hmm distance, well a rip down to coromandel and back would be nice? But that would be a full day....

I'm open to suggestions.

Last week I headed up to Orewa with my friend and his GSXR1100, but it was mostly just straight and boring. Would of been nice to head to Paihia ....but then the distance just gets longer and longer.

There seem to be a few other riders on this forum that might have some nice routes thought out already. I'm just thinking Sunday is a great day for riding, so I'll be doing it regardless.

I'm not concerned about experience, I've been riding for only about 6months now but manage to make it down to Cooks Beach in about 1hr 45mins.......for comparision it's about a 2 1/2 hr car ride. But crusing will be more than fine.

hmmmm did the coro loop 2 weeks ago and it ended up being 430km if that is the sort of distance you are looking at. Else there is the hanua's through to papakura has some lovely twists and winds. Could just head ver the kopu's and then back. Or round the coast past themes. Just wondering i might make an appearance. The guys i did the ride with the smallest bike was i think a gsxr600k3 so were a bit quicker would be nice riding with some 250's.

Yeah that ride sounds good.....At the moment its just us, but perhpas some more people will get interested before the end of the day.

I"m central city for location, and am looking at checking out some riding gear on Saturday so hopefully i'll be sporting a new jacket and perhpas boots!!!

:)

What's your riding level like? As i noted before I"m quite new to this but happily ride along with little inconvience.
