If its ok with you guys i'd like to join your jaunt around the coro loop. I just have to find the Papakura meeting point first.

Well if some of you Auckland guys who don't know where to go (red beach!) want to meet somewhere before hand, let me know what would suit you best. A fuel station somewhere close to the motorway in east auckland or something? Where are you? - Red beach in hibiscus (I don't know where that is)

Red Beach is next to Orewa. But I have had a chance to look at the map now. I think I just go down the Norhern motorway (highway one) and I will come to the Autobahn on the left eventually. Someone please put me right if this is wrong.

yep... go down the northern motorway.... past the city... were it becomes southern motorway... still SH1... and eventually... you'll see a big sign on a fly over bridge with all the symbols for gas station / food / bathrooms... then keep your eyes peeled... as big BP will be on the left after a few hundred more meters.. thats where we are meeting

and make sure you do all the checks on your bike... will be a long ride

Hey,
Can an old dude tag along on this ride? and could I meet up with you at Kopu?
I would be riding up from Rottonrua and could wait by the pub.
Does the ride go to Coro and then over to Matarangi and around through Whitanga, whangamata etc?
Thames is my home town so may call in earlier and see some rellies.
If you leave at 11.00am which sounds a bit late to me, you would be at Kopu about when?
Just a thought that was all specially if weather looks good.

Cheers
TC

That's a bit of a ride isn't it. It's around 460ks just from the autobahn around the loop on it's own, let alone coming down from Orewa as well.

feckit, my tyre has no tread in the middle so i prob want be making it.

**Zapf** · 25th November 2005, 17:51

yea... looking at the forecasts it might be a little damp.... so make sure u got treads!

and its NZ anyway... the best forecast is with ur own eyes... so lets wait and see what happens closer to sunday.

Use the sides Gareth.
WeeStromer, I may be going up, and Goblin expressed an interest too.

**Goblin** · 25th November 2005, 18:03

I dunno now, looking at the weather....mind you the BOPMCC Poker run was fun in the rain.

Warmer now too hhmmm!

**HDTboy** · 25th November 2005, 18:14

See how it's looking on Sunday

**Goblin** · 25th November 2005, 18:48

Bummer! I have to choose between Coro Loop on Sunday and Maketu Burnout on Saturday.

I wish I could do both but budget tells me otherwise. Decisions decisions. Poker runs are fun it the wet, risky as hell, but thats what I love about riding.

There will probably be Coro rides every weekend so I might just see how lotto goes.

**TONO** · 25th November 2005, 19:00
