I checked out the route and it looks good. How many approximate Ks are we talking about from the starting point at Hamilton then back to Hamilton? I vote for back roads all the way.

We tried a two weeks ago with no weather in our favour but hopefully this coming weekend will be a goodin

in brief leaving Hamilton, to KihiKihi to Wharepapa south, to Mangakino, to Bennydale, to Tekuiti, then back up via State 3 or back of Waitomo.
I want to get an idea of numbers and who else knows the ride so the various speed groups has a guide etc. Also to advise the cafes on the route for lunch stops etc....

Quasi, I will try & join you on Saturday weather & wife permitting? Hope the weather improves like "they" say it will... Sunday is out for me.

Will await your post on Friday night.

the round trip from Hamilton is 240 kms, it can be longer if we go around the back of Waitomo and up past Kawhia, it depends on how we vote etc.
Looking at the weather it may be sunday though as the saturday forecast is for the remains of the front coming through but I will post tommorrow night with Decision, the roads are fucken great you will have a greater than great day I promise you.

Hi Quasi,
Would love to join you for the ride. Enjoyed the CORO ride and meeting you and the others but family time beckons. Have done the ride to Taupo thru Magakino a few times this year and to Tekuiti Great mix of roads.
Would love to do the Waitomo-Kawhia loop again . Did it about 10 yrs ago and it was brilliant. Maybe join up one day to do Raglan - Kawhia -Waitomo etc. Have a cool Day!!! Rodders (R1)

Please note that in the interests of saftey and faster cornering speeds the ride is now on SUNDAY!!!
Thanks heaps, hope to see a few of you then !!!
