East Cape ride report

Round the cape is on my list too, can anyone tell me how long it would take to do the whole thing? (Gisborne, round to Gisborne - I can add the Napier legs on)

We take a day to go round from Gisborne. Off to Opotiki for breakfast and then around with a couple of rest stops at Waihau Bay and Tokomaru Bay. Maybe 5hrs riding? But it's quite tiring because you have to be on the ball all the time... absolutely anything can be around every bend. Magic

i have been told that whakatane and back to whakatane takes about 6 hours doing a nice comfortable speed. like others have said you have to keep your wits about you on this ride cause you never no what lies around the corner. At the mo the area has had a few slips and floods so there will be alot of crap on the roads aswell as the odd bit of wildlife. I have only been as far as waihau bay but it was a truely awesomre ride.
