Ride to Coromandel town Jan 2 2006

**SlashWylde** · 29th December 2005, 10:36

Hey folks,

I'm gonna be heading down to the Coromandel Celtic Fair on the morning of the 2nd. Plan is to ride straight down to Thames via SH1; SH2; then SH25. From Thames carry on up to Coromandel town, then stop and wander around the Fair for a couple hours.

After I've had my fill of the Fair I'm gonna carry on round the Coromandel going clockwise. Depending on the weather and energy will probably head back to Kopu via SH25A then home to East Tamaki via Miranda, Kaiaua, Kawakawa Bay and Clevedon.

If any one is keen to join me for part or all of the trip let me know. I'll park myself up in the Wendy's carpark by the East Tamaki Rd off ramp at 09:00, leaving at 09:30. Could also meet others in Kopu at around 10:30-10:45ish.

Sweet. There should be some good photo ops for us of slavering barbarian hoardes in full battle regalia...then of course theres the celtic re-enactment troupes

Should be a fun day.

Will see what I'm up to on that day and what the funds are like. If possible I'de be keen to chill at the fair aswell. Might be a bit like Scarlesburough Fair back in Texas.

any other takers?

**SlashWylde** · 1st January 2006, 15:14

I take it you're coming Zapf? if so I'll wait at the nominated spot tomorrow morning. If no-one else wants to come along I'll just go in my own time.

Waylander you gotta come too. You'll love the fair.

If so we could meet you down your way in Papakura

Long story but I won't be going up to Papakura for a while. Trying to sort something out with the folks for gascash and such. May end up carrying my mom pillion up to this. Still trying to get ahold of her though. She tends to ignore her phone when family is on the other end.

Everyone else is probably going on the coro trip the day after this one.
