assuming i have a reliable bike on the road at the time i am planning joining my mates in Hahei from the 5th-8th of December. So if anyone is keen to meet up for a quick hop over the Coromandel then get in contact and i'll let you know what im doing (when i know). I wouldnt be too interested in taking too much of a detour as i'll need money for other things :beer

but if your keen, tell me all the same
