    Coro Loop

    Can someone please post a map pic showing the Coromandel Loop.
    Might get the opportunity to ride the route so would like to see where the Loop goes. Thanks

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    XF650? Isn't that the Freewind? In which case, take the short loop (less miles, but a LOT more fun) through Road 309. Half way up the peninsula, east/west.Turn off the coast road at tapu, comes out right by the Coroglan Pub. natural providence that is.

    Sprotsbikes can't go that way.

    That ain't the 309 - it is the Tapu-Coroglen. Sprotsbikes can go that way...
    The 309 goes from just south of Coromandel across to Kaimarama (a few K's south of Whitianga). Sprotsbikes would be well advised to stay away.
    ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.

    If those were all pubs it would take Korn 6 months to do the coro.
    It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
    everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
    You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

    I took the dirty old falcon over it about six months ago, sure wasn't sealed then. Was picking up my stupid mate who had managed to drive off a scary looking 'incline'. Dickhead.

    Yeah, I agree. Dunno why but the loop seems much better anti clockwise for some reason.

    I just love that hunk of road, especially the Whitianga to Coro bit.

    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Yes I think thats the main reason, also the coast section on the west can dry out a bit by the afternoon if anticlocking it, but the hill just before coro is one of the better bits of roading in NZ for bikes
