Could be keen since my schedule is flexible at the mo. I grew up in the Coro so know the roads as good as anyone. Suggest postponing your lunch stop a little further along the ride since you'll get there in about 40 minutes from the CBD.

[EJK]

I will be touring not racing since my bike has topspeed of 130kph lol

Edit: Yeah we could postpond the lunch to Thames McDonalds where also we could suggestably meet?

[deanohit]

Yep, will be keen to meet in Thames for lunch. Got no problem with you leading as this is a confidence trip for you mate, don't want you feeling out of your depth and we all know the planned route.

[EJK]

Alright then
Know any cheap accomodation in Coromandel?
Cause I've never been there and I don't even know if they have Burger King or not

[deanohit]

Got plenty of places to eat or have a drink there. Will have a look for cheap backpackers or something there now.

[Zapf]

question... do you need 2 days for the trip?

[deanohit]

Well, we'll be on under 250's, and it's just a quiet cruise. I'm all for takin 2 days to do it an have the chance to take in the scenery clearly and not in a blur.

Try Anchor Lodge in Coromandel Town. Beautiful cabins and within crawling distance of the Admirals Arms pub and the superb chip shop. Have a look at http://www.coromandeltown.co.nz/ for other accommodation options. Pity we're renovating our bach down on the harbour at present or you could have had that at a sharp price on a weekday.

With a two day timeframe EJ, you could easily do the full loop....not the half, go right down to Waihi on the eastern side and through to Paeroa...

[EJK]

question... do you need 2 days for the trip?

Yeah, I'm not fit enough to do the coro-loop in just one day ey, I'm taking my time No pressure

[Scouse]

What are you riding a fuckin steam roller or summat cos it wont take two days to do the loop, even if you do the full loop
