Coromandel ride, 3rd or 4th july

[Crisis management]

Anyone in for a wander around the Coromandel this weekend?

At this stage either saturday or sunday dependant on the weather and how many volunteers there are, nothing hard, all sealed or gravel roads with a rough plan as follows.

Leave Auckland 8 am via Clevedon and the coast road to Thames (@9.30) up the Thames coast to Coromandel, coffee there then to Port Jackson.
Back to Coromandel then via Castle rock road to the 309 to Coroglen for a late lunch, over to Tapu, Thames & home up the coast.
I want to explore around Castle rock if the road is open and as there have been a few slips up there this weekend a few diversions may be needed.
I aim to get back to Auckland for 5pm

Any suggestions welcome and I've got $5.00 says Brent has an excuse to not come..........

Have fun, all.

I could well be a starter for this one. The day with the best weather suits me the best.
The rest of my weekend can kiss my shiney metal butt if the weather is good.

This idea needs a RedBull I think Iain?

You been watch Romaniacs or is this an "in" joke that I'm not aware of?

[ducatijim]

Neither Iain, I just think the idea is really lacking 'wings'...........ie, RedBull etc?

[Crisis management]

Ok, caught on now......(need red bull obviously)

I think everyone is conserving money at present Jamie, I just plan on going for a ride and if anyone else turns up that's a bonus, I'll post up a day (probably saturday) tomorrow and a couple of places / times to meet up and we will see what happens.

I don't think I can make this one sorry, I think a gentle thrash around the sandpit might be a better option for me this weekend.

[GPS MAN]

I would really like to ride but, a little too far on short notice....next time

[Crisis management]

Ok, looks like it's me and maybe (Cave weta?) others if the weather holds up, saturday it is as Sunday looks a little wet!
If anyone wants to meet up these are the suggestions:

Outside the Clevedon pub on the Clevedon-Kawakawa road at 8.30.

Outside the Kopu pub at 9.30 to 10.00ish.

After that it's Coromandel and various places around the peninsula.



Chris, I'm going to the Sandpit with the 200 on sunday if that works for you.......(orange 200 EXC with white radiator shrouds, travelling at nana speed )

Sounds good to me, what time are you thinking of being there?

I am 50/50 on the saturday ride.
