L's Angels ‘One Night Inside’ Ride (24-25 August)

**Gremlin** · 20th August 2013, 23:18

Just want to double check your route Maha? You list Okahukura Saddle Rd for Sunday morning to Taumarunui, instead of the more usual River Rd. Just checking, as I'll run the rest of the route on Saturday evening to check it for you (looks like a mint road too).

Was noting, as the Saturday route doesn't include the deviation from Rangiriri...

Um yes, that map is so wrong , don't load that into anything

But off at Rangiriri and River road (SH 43) to Taumarunui

watch yourself when approaching Nevins hill patchy road works there & just pass the look out fine once you hit the flats

Looks like I'm adding that road to the must-ride list (I really should write them all down, can't remember most) as it's not on the official route no more...

Besides, there is no lookout when it's dark

It's in the first post where we are leaving from, the google map is just a general idea of things.

You don't want the poor bugger leading lost souls off into the wild wilderness do you Maha?

Actually, I wanna be part of that group then... I like that

That is the fun group for sure, we had one last year trying to find Kawhia, but ended up at Nikau Caves...

Nice road out there though

It's all pretty easy Ash..after Te Kuiti, head over the hill towards New Plymouth for about 10kms and turn left for Taumarunui, 45kms down that road is the sign for Ohura. Turn right and Ohura is 38 kms from there.
I have small printed out copy worded as such, for both days.

alternatively ( Just for you Alan ) from Ohura turn onto Taranui Rd follow through to Waitaanga Rd onto Mangaroa then Tongaporutu/Ohura Rd & finally Okau Rd which will lead you to SH4, hang a right & your @ 12km from Mokau..... sound abit like you ?

Yeah it looks pretty straightforward, I know all the roads heading down, just a couple of new turnoffs on the way back Sunday.

I MAY end up coming down for Sunday's leg Maha ( meet at Ohura ), I'm familiar with that loop your taking home, I can lead/wait at junction points etc,etc.... where are you stopping for lunch on the Sunday? more than willing to help you guys & gals enjoy the KING COUNTRY

Could it??

) hopefully I'll have the bike back by the weekend. Don't think they'd let me take the loaner to Ohura.

Any news about your bike? If you make it to Taupo you can always borrow my GN
