Could be keen Draco, let's see if they can predict the forecast correctly!

Might be there. Depends how hammered I am in the morn. will be with a pillion.

Havent been up to manga's for a while. Farking good run.

Its best to take SH16, turn off onto old north road, then peak road to join back on the 16 at kaukaupakaupapapapa.

There is a nice short cut between Warkworth and Wellsford, kinda via Tomarta, nice road (read twisties), if you miss the turn off you can still get onto it from Wellsford (turn right at top of shops opposite the tyre shop then turn left when you see the Mangawhai sign).

Just a note the road going into Mangawhai (about 10 k from Mangawhai) is a bit cut up at the moment, was up there last week, advice folks to ride around the cut outs as there are some big ruts/holes etc

They might be filled in by now *then again it took them 20 years to seal that road*, the cut outs are roughy 3/4 of the lane wide and vary in length, about 5 of them along the way. is easily do-able.

If you want the long way, Kiwaka (sp) is the way to go

The seal on the road from Mangawhai to Langs Beach is lifting as well, again is do-able just be a bit careful around the corners if anyone goes up further.
