Another thing: If you guys prefer leaving earlier or later, that's cool too.

The weather tomorrow will be beautiful, we shouldn't waste it.

Just done the loop this afternoon... lots of seal repairs most of the way between Clevedon and Kaiaua, not too much problem tho EXCEPT going towards Kaiaua, on the short straight bit after the jandal corner twisties, and before the next downhill left there is quite a lot of gravel, right where you want tto be hard on the brakes IF you've gunned it hard out of the twisties.

Came back via SH2, Hunua etc... roads mint! (except the green stuff)

Thanks for the update.

I guess we'll take it easy on the way up and save our energy for the way back.

Thought you might have. Saw you stopped at the lights at Botany at 1.15pm. I was the cage driver that did the double take at you, jaw dropped onto the steering wheel..... then, unusually, I got a green immediately at the next lights so didn't get to see you go by!!! LOVE your bike!!

Doing a ride later today with a mate but will come down at 9.30 and maybe do the first part of the ride with you guys.

So you were sitting at the cafe, sipping your latte, wondering when you need to go back in to bleach your hair - and you call us homo's???

It was a great ride today, perfect weather and no moments.

We were even joined by "The Creator" himself

We intially went for a short blat to Kaiaua, then decided hmm..... since we've come this far we might as well do the entire Coro Loop

Lot's of fancy machines around today two brand new big boy gixxers - one with only 400k's on the clock at the start of the ride and a guy on a new 06 Raven R6 who we met twice today.

Thanks for the company everyone.
