!!! First Coroloop ever!!!

Was just awesome to test a bit the new baby outside

And now brakes and tyres feel so much better hehe... but I just adopt the cowboy walking

Awesome road, really, some sun in the afternoon (I prefer forgot about this f...shitty weather, rain and wind blowing grr)!! Bike needs new tyres for sure but warming them on the Coro roads had bought some more sticky rubber appeared...Improved a bit at the end of the day but still slow

Need more k's on the bike I guess

Thanks to Gav and Kit for the mechanical check of the bike, really really much better: whole toes on the ground (instead of tip of toes lol)!!! woohooo! And thanks Kit for leading our nice group this afternoon

Oh and Dan, thanks for my back, I'll try to get a new longer jacket though

And bisous Char hehe

Look forward to do it again (and some other trackdays too) and improve riding skills

It's just the loop road around the Coromandel Peninsula.

When I say "just" ... it has a lot of big fans! I will leave it to them to sing its praises

Haha yeah, was about to say "just" is not exactly the right word lool!!
Just beautiful corners, nice asphalt, beautiful landscapes (when you have enough time to take your look out of the road lool) and just a lot of fun!

If it goes through the Karangahake(hope spelling is ok) Gorge then would be an awesome ride...I love that road!

Thats lower down, and can be part of a bigger loop. Otherwise, the shorter loop goes through the hikuai's.

Glad you're enjoying some of the best roads around auckland. I never fail to enjoy a ride on the coromandel
