Sounds like a great way to blow off a weekend but...
You planning on taking your fishing gear and camping gear up on your bike!

Yep. Scrambler is all set to roll.
Tent, S/Bag, Thermo Mattress, Camp Gear, Break down tools, Snacks/water etc, and fishing gear.
Its such a good ol pack horse. Might take a pic tomorrow to show I'm not full of shit.
Will take the Daytona up to Dans funeral tomorrow.

Sat 12.00 noon at Caltex Pollen St Thames.
I have contacted Coro Info Cntr, and fuel is still on sale at the Colville store, which helps with bike fuel range.

Tip of Coromandel.
Mainly gravel road in good condition. Fuel is still available at Colville store.
Road bikes can do it, but stone chip damage to fairings is guaranteed.
check out a Coro map, and look at the tip. Fletcher bay etc.

Lol I'll pass.. stone chips on my new bike are one of the last things I want. If I had a tidy off roader I wud so be in. Do u do mainly off road (gravel) rides do ya?

Personally, I'm spending more time on back roads and gravel, but hopefully others will post some more weekend road rides here.
Still like riding the Daytona on road rides, but theres something appealing about old country roads with nil speed cameras/coppas etc. Plus the final destinations generally arn't crowded. gravel puts alot of people off.
Cross over to the dusty side, resistance is useless

A certain lady is doing her basic handling test tomorrow, so I doubt that I'll be on any group/major ride, so enjoy yourselfs, and stay alert.

Forgot to post a note that I was doing this ride.
Its stuck between Te Kuiti, and Taramanui, and its worth while including Okahakura Saddle Rd.
Both ranges help seperate Taumaranui From Ohura. %90 gravel and very enjoyable.

1 Grader was about.

2 Saddle Rd

3 The coolest front gate I've seen for ages.

4 Mt Pleasant Farm members certainly enjoy skiing.

Mate, you and I need to get into some of this offroad stuff sometime. I liked the way you did the fishing rod attachment, I been thinking about how to stick my fly rod onto the bike, so your pic ansered that for me!
cheers

[tri boy]

I'll be up for it.
