Wellington - Taupo - Hamilton - Coro Loop - Gisborne - East Cape - Wellington

**Kendog** · 30th November 2007, 22:37

Ok, I am planning a little road trip starting the end of next week, if any one is interested in joining me for any of these sections let me know.

Friday 7th Dec Wellington to Taupo (370k)
Saturday - Honda track day (they let me enter on my Suzuki

)
Sunday - Suzuki track day
Monday - Taupo to Hamilton via Tauranga (250k)
Tuesday - Hamilton to Coro loop back to Hamilton (405k)
Wednesday - Hamilton to Gisborne (385k)
Thursday - Gisborne to Gisborne (round the East Cape) (471k)
Friday - Gisborne to Wellington (529k)
Saturday = rest
Total = 2410k

Depending on how the body is taking it, I may add a rest day in Hamilton (Wednesday) or Gisborne (Thursday) so the dates would move out one.

Sweet. The Tauranga bit is to get my seat done, hoping to ride there in the morning and ride away in the afternoon with it finished. Does that sound possible?

Been looking at Google maps for ideas. The main focus is the track, coro loop and east cape. The other bits I am not to worried about.

Hmmm, had vague notions of heading up to Taupo Sat to watch Sun.
Don't think I can get away early... will see but if I can I won't know until late.
