It'd be great to have you along, I'm sure there will be others not interested in the beach, so no problems.Originally Posted by Kokopelli
Klondyke road, don't know yet, I have to get a map with road names on it first....
My view is that we can discuss and alter the route as we go to take advantage of any local knowledge or "this looks interesting" roads we come across.
As promised earlier, I will publish a route by the end of the week!

I don't mind skipping the beach for someone else. I haven't been able to get the bike to the beach myself! It was way too soft at rimmers road in the summer last time I tried, after 10 min I bailed out of the idea and went back to the gravel....
Yeah man (Mr Crisis), when are you posting the route!!!

I did the Kaipara 200 ride including the beach section on my R80GS Basic. Got on and off alright, but I don't enjoy it all that much and the sand and salt can;t be all that good for the old girl.

Klondike road is a must do. You'd not want to miss it. I might be able to get out that day, if so will wait for you at the les Batkin reserve by the Tuakau bridge.

I hope to catch you guys somewhere near Kauri Flat. The fat scrambler seems to like plodding down gravel.

Good to meet you guys. Hope the ride around Ruapuke etc went well.

It was a good day today and the weather held. I enjoyed meeting you guys. Next time we'll have to make an earlier start in order to get the extra riding in :-). I haven't got my data cable for my camera at home, so I can't post the two pictures I took.
