Heaps of people ride the Coromandel Loop.

Most of the guys in Auckland, Rotorua and Tauranga are Coro loop sluts like me :)

Why do you ask?

Seriously for me the best part of Coro is the Thames - Coro Town bit followed by breakfast.

My best bit which I could do all day long is from Whitianga to Coro town and especially the smooth seal bit over the hill with all the twisties. :love:

just want to meet riders not coffee drinkers , thats why i asked

Fair enough. I like riding and not sucking coffee all the time too :)

Keep an eye out on this site under planned events as they are always on.

Trouble is most people like the East coast and head up that way and then back again the same way but often do the full loop as well.

Anyways, watch the planned rides under meetings and events and a lot of times people meet at the Kopu gas station. Auckland crew normally meet anyone from Tauranga, Rotorua, Paeroa there.

There hasn't been a full organised loop since the unfortunate events of 2nd December but I may tentatively organise one before winter hits hard.

Most people are a little hesitant to organise large group rides since that bad day, myself included. It's a good way to meet others but has the potential to go wrong.

Are you a hard out rider or just in for a cruise?

Had a good play up there today. Saw Korn, Kiwifruit, and Saul all shitting bricks going through the corners upright. Had a bite and a drink at the coroglen with about 20 guys from Kiwibiker, then went back the other way.

Shame they all didn't get dead. Crap tv viewing that should be consigned to the midnight hour so the retards who watch that shit have to learn how to set their vcr timers.
