Yeh that road into whanga from waihi is awesome... won't be if there are stacks of cars and

yeah it would be a good ride' only thing is the traffic, Whanga grows up to 70,000 people,my reckoning is that traffic, is gonna be bad, the kopu to whanga rd(as you all know) as some long stretches, fo "safe "overtaking, if however if we took off early we could do a semi coro loop" kopu -thames-coromandel-whitianga-taurua-whanga, there wont be much traffic comin from the coromandel side me thinks,
up to you folk wanna leave a bit earlier, (not to early mind you) and do the semi coro loop ending in whanga???

also i dont know if "im" cruising back from whanga to auckland on the day,, i feel some

comin on which means no
