About right there mate. Trying for longer rides between stops so the gap between groups should open up nicely therefore causing less stress at gas stations etc.
When arriving in Paparoa if all Jafas could go and gas up as they arrive it would make things smoother.
There are two main gas staions in Dargiville which will reduce congestion there.
From there Opononi/Omapere...

Weather has been MINT here in the past couple of days so here's hoping it holds out for an awesome ride this Sunday

TAKE NOTE ALL TIMES ARE AN APPROXIMATE DUE TO SHIT GOING WRONG ON THE DAY/UNFORSEEN REASONS.

Auckland (Qkchk and Custards group) and the Southern crew (2much's group)
Meet at Westgate Shell (at the end of the North-Western Motorway) @ 8.30am. Hopefully we will have the Southern crew there waiting for us. (There is a McDonalds right next door for those who require a feed) Gas up ya bikes/buy drinks/have a smoke and talk shite. WE ARE LEAVING @ 9AM SHARP! It's gonna be a long day so we need to get going on time! There will be a breifing on the route taken.

Proceed up SH16 to Wellsford then onto SH1 up to the Mangaturoto turn-off. See attached map. Take a left at the Brynderwyn Junction, follow SH12 to Paparoa. When we arrive 10.30 - 10.45 @ Paparoa you will be required to gas-up ASAP. This is where we will be meeting up with the "Northern Crew" (TLRider's group) You will be asked for a 'donation' for the organised ride.

Approx 11am we will head off in two groups. The FAST CREW will leave first with the CRUZERS following behind after a couple of minutes. Hopefully this way we can space out the riders went it comes to gas stations and food stops etc.

We will visit 'CUSTARD CORNER' and see why it's called that. After the 'unvieling' we will continue on til we get to Dargaville @ approx 12.30pm. Gas-up your bikes then we head off to our lunch destination Baylys Beach which is approx 15mins ride from Dargaville. From there the Northland crew can give us a brief on the next portion of the ride. We are keeping this open-ended at this stage, Im sure TLRider will have some bloody good roads for us to explore including the Waipoura Forest.

The route displayed on the map below differs from where we are going. Its a only a guide to the areas we will be visiting.
