Ok didn't know that Coroglen Tapu was metal might just have to avoid Kopu Hikuia and Coroglen Tapu and just do the full Loop like Paeroa Waihi Whangamata Tirua Coroglen Whitianga Coromandel Yada Yada Yada but it will still be fuckin good

I haven't done the loop anti-clockwise so I'm actually looking forward to going on this ride. Hope the weather is decent.

**Matt Bleck** · 27th March 2006, 13:49

Errrmmm, don't think I am pissing on someone elses plans please, but:
Adding the Whangamata section tosses another one and half hours to the loop. My arse is going to be fine on the 1400 but it's going to make for a long run for some.

Also, the Kopu-Hikuia section only has about 2-3 kms of road works and if it's been watered down, going real slow to stop the crap getting over your bike is still going to save heaps of time over adding the Whangamata add on.

You all know that KB rides take longer than normal because we stop more often and chat longer. Socialising is an aspect of these rides which comes with the whole package and the reason I mention this, is the loop can easily be done in four hours with lunch, but normally with a group, takes 6-7 hours. That's a pretty long day for some.

Just my rants and 2 pence worth.

If you do decide to add the Whangamata section, then for us Auckland people, we can still drop down by Hotel DuVin, go through Miranda and take the East Canal road to Paeroa which keeps us of the main road for 'ahem' you know what I mean.

Thoughts please

What about West Canal Road....?

**Scouse** · 28th March 2006, 19:17

Good thoughts Beyonce I was thinking that seein as how the Coroglen Tapu Road was not a runner we would do the full Paeroa Waihi Whangamata Coromandel thang and give Hikuai Kopu the big miss By the way are your mates on the R1 and Speed Triple coming along....?

True... but the Karangahake Gorge and the road between Waihi and Whangamata are some of the most gorgeous twisties around, so I figure if we are to do the same amount of reststops*ahem + either the Waikino tearooms(lol) or the Whangamata lunchbar(:/) we going to have to up the pace..................hehehhehehehehehehe

Got Nitrous??
