Feb 5 Endurance Ride Coro*2

[justsomeguy]

Hi there,

I'm planning on going for a slightly longer ride to practice for the Grand Challenge. I plan on doing the Kopu Mobil to Kopu Mobil part of the Coro Loop twice.

Sunday 5th Feb

Meet at Autobahn Papakura

At 10:30am depart 11am.

Reach Kopu Mobil around 12 - 12:30 pm

There will be minimal stops and the pace will be around the medium mark. The second loop and the last parts of the ride back to Auckland may in the dark depending on how long it takes.

I have timed the ride based on previous experience as follows.

Autobahn to Kopu Mobil - 1 to 1 and a half hours.
Planned Arrival - 12:15-12:30 pm

Lunch: 12:30 - 1pm.

Kopu Mobil to Kopu Mobil - non-stop with 1 fuel break - 2 hrs 10 mins to 2 hrs 30 mins in very heavy traffic. Some amount of lane splitting and filtering will be required and expected.
Planned Arrival - 3:30pm

Second Loop in the reverse direction to the first loop

Kopu Mobil - Kopu Mobil again non-stop, stopping for fuel as required.
Planned Arrival - 6:30pm

Depart Kopu Mobil back via Miranda, Hunuas, etc and arrival back to Auckland around 8-9pm taking it fairly easy.

I have a target time of 8-8.5 hours for the entire ride. Please note part of the ride may be in the dark.

Anyone up to the challenge is invited.

I don't mind the bouncing, keeps me awake....... horribly wallowy in the corners though......

Be good to have some company looks like all the other regulars are too busy.

Lets see how much maintenance I can get done on Sat.
