Did the Cape a few weeks back. Opotiki - Napier in one day. Big ride. Enjoy your leisurely trip, it is beautiful esp. the Opotiki side. Be very aware of your bike's fuel range & gas up when you can. Gas pumps are few & far between & you pay maybe as much as $1.50 per litre.

Thanks for the offer Scroter, will call mid week when the weather boffins can give me some idea on rain,hail or shine stuff.

Anyone else interested would need to discuss with Scroter himself :)

:ride: Anyone care to post a point of interest that is worth a look when travelling the cape route ??

fish and chips at tekaha pub are good if you time it right and they will do them
theres a church in the middle of bloody no where before waihau bay, you cant miss it.
hicks bays got an awesome lodge with onsite restaraunt in bar (yeah i know and no gas station)
the wharf at tolaga bay is of interest
theres some look outs just up the jill from hicks bay which give good veiws.

oh and some of the best roads youll ever see
