Auckland to the MMMMM, Friday 27 July

[Crisis management]

But you wont know where to explore unless we meet
Not keen on poking my nose too far in there alone as it involves a few river crossings

Bugger Phil sending his bike to America just when I find somewhere new to explore

Ok, where can we meet, I can get to Pio Pio around 1.00ish....






(It's always good to have someone skilled at pushing the 640!)

Ranginui sorry then Wairehi Rd to Taupaki. I will be doing it, but from the north...

Aotearoa Road (from Wharepapa South) to Wairehi Road is pretty cool.

Not sure if I'll be able to be ready in time but I might try and catch up along the way??? If not, see you there.

[That looks like fun]

I will be at the Fat Pigeon in Pio Pio around 1. (Plan a )

Ok, I've been trying to work out how to get to Pio Pio for 1.00 pm without leaving the traffic jamb up here at 5 in the morning, cause that doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Short answer is; I will try to get there but I think I will be pushing it so if I'm not there by 1.30 carry on without me. Sorry I can't be more definate than that but I do want to spend the time on the west coast back roads rather than the seal....

If I'm not at the pub by 6.00pm then I'm stuck in the Pureora mud somewhere, you'll come and get me won't you????

I figure my plans for leaving will revolve around the traffic out of AK. I plan to leave the Shore about 9:30/10am, quietly make my way down.
I plan to do a run through Pureora Forest then into Kaimanawa if time permits.
That should put me heading into Pureora around 1ish, Kaimanawa around 3, the pub around 5/6.

Don't worry, if you don't make it to the pub, I shall take care of the beer. We will come and rescue you (on our way home on sunday)

Knew I could rely on you....

Have a good ride down!

I'll be rolling over the Tuakau bridge about 9am and heading out through Onewhero. No set plan except there will be coffee stops and plan to get to Taupo for a beer and fuel and out to Rangitaiki well before dark. Happy for anyone to tag along.
