    Curious - the Coro-loop is around the Coromandel Pen? A one day trip?

    yup, one day or less.. depending on how quick you are
    last time, we set off at 9am from south Auckland, and most were back in auckland around 3.30/4.. a few of us (me included) turned back and did the best bits again, and got back to auckland at 5.30

    Probably a couple of hours in total of stops.

    KF, why don't you go anti clockwise, then go back again from Coromandle?
    That what we did last weekend and just loved all the twisties..

    I'll have to see nearer the time, if I can go. Bit broke at the mo!

    Yep, round the coromandel loop,
    one day trip (its not all that far),
    will stop for lunch (in coro prolly) and refreshments/smoke breaks quite often.
    I also plan to sit on the side of the road at some point and take pics of any bikes that might be with me, was so pleased with trevs shots on the last ride, i thought id do the same for some others

    it's just the east coast is peppered with 100/50/100/80/50/100k zones most of the way, and that's just boring. There's a few twisties as it goes from the coast up to the coro town, but there that and then some over the other side.. that's all.. just my 2¢

    Why don't you go anticlockwise, then head home via whangamata?.... means you get to do the kopu-hik twice

    oh, and hopefully me and the missus are in. You wanna meet at Tauriko again?
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    Will see you there at 0815.

    And don't go having any shitty dreams on Friday night this time! I expect to see you passing me on the rear wheel!!!
