What Rides Organised Nt Isld central up?

[Unit:Me]

Havent been on for a while so not sure if Im hijacking an already existing threat, If I am, my apologies
Just come off the Gixxer ride last weekend with the Northern crew. Its that time of the year for lots of riding and would be nice to know what's planned where, anywhere central Nth Island through to Far North. 2Much proved the other day this whole area can be done in a day So makes one realise what can be achieved in a whole weekend.
So anyone out there who's looking to get a few like minded people together post your thoughts, lets see who's been thinking, "But they should try my usual ride" What ya got out there people??

To prepare for the GrandChallenge I'd like to do a 1000k in a day ride. Think you'd be up for that - or could you recommend any roads?

1,000 Ks ya I'd definately give it a go I'm up for it Pretty easy to do, get plenty of sleep before hand, eat well, be prepared, travel simple but intelligently I've done Whg to Christchurch in one run years ago with the ferry ride the only reprieve tick that box

We could have a loop that does the coro loop and then up to the forest or something ??

You coming on sat??

If you want to trip around the central North Island get hold of Zagy & Trumpy.
Great guys & know the roads around Taupo etc. Zagy is always up for a ride.

I'll be there Saturday, definately. For anyone wondering Tomorrow we do Whangarei, Dargaville, Waipoua Forest to Omapere primarily to look for Aff-mans calliper from last weekend From Omapere there are some great choices to get back home
How far would the coro loop through to the forest be ya reckon? May as well make the most of our summer while we've got it

Cool, would love to try that area before the summers out. Whats it like around Taranaki and over towards New Plymouth, Ive never really been out that way

[DemonWolf]

Some nice roads out here.. though I'm sure Sensei and nadroj and the others have far more knowledge on what routes should be a goér.. I'm a noob compared to these guys

[Kornholio]

Ooooh make sure it includes Pyes Pa road....spectacularrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

Ok from my house (east auckers) To do the coro loop is about 450km.....

Then last weekend (from my house again) to where i stopped and going the slightly "quicker" way home was 485km....

So If we add the forest etc and take out going to east auckland.... You'll probably be looking at 1100-1200km

A little long for a day unless you set a decent pace with minimal stops...

Another few routes would be:

1) up north somewhere don't really know the roads but say way way up north ...

2) Do the coro loop with a detour to waihi (excellent road) and stuff... I'll probably be looking at about 650kmish but you people from up north are probably a bit more than that??

Would be keen to do the coro loop noprth island stint... even if we made it a 2 day event??

And who are we to argue with you and yours We did 486ks in the end yesterday, oh, and three pubs lunch five sides of the road, three service stations :slap: and a late-ish start. We thought of a bigger northern loop last night but I think you Akld south guys should come up the night before then go for one big day of riding, yee ha

[2much]

That's nothing to be ashamed of, did (only? ) 495k's, 2 pubs and lunch yesterday acroos to kawhia and back.

Would be very keen but you're right, think we'll take you guys up on you're offer of a place to crash overnight next time..... could get messy tho
