Coro loop?

[Delerium]

Beeing a complete noob, (hopefully getting a bike in february, if things fall into place) can anybody tell me/have pic of the coro loop route? Iv heard good things about it and will be keen to give it a go when I can

Cheers.

Go on your own or with a small group...great place but it's a technical ride and you need full concentration without the distraction of other bees buzzing around you....has taken too many lives...care recommended.

Auckland > Clevedon > Kaiaua > Kopu >Thames > Coromandel > Whitianga > Tairua > Hikuai > Kopu. That's the "short" version.

Get the superb book "NZ Motorcycle Atlas" and look it up in there too. It's the only book for NZ you'll ever need: http://www.aucklandmapcentre.co.nz/default,324,new_zealand_motorcycle_atlas.sm

If you ever decide to do it, I live in Coro and am normally available if you ever strike trouble and if you're really lucky; I might ride with you from Thames and take you for a gentle guided tour. Weekdays are best due to the absence of traffic, but weekends are generally ok too.

Oh, yeah. Nearly forgot. I've got two vids up on youtube covering the Coro hill (best part) and some of the roads getting there. Search under username beyondkiwi

great place for a ride, but i'd recommend you go by yourself and take it really really easy...
