250 Corro Loop ride 9th Feb

[deanohit]

Well it's been awhile since our last ride around the loop guys, what with people busy or with out bikes and stuff, so it's time for another.

Ej's got a new bike he's wanting to test out and I want to enjoy these awesome days by riding as much as I can!

Starting at Kopu Mobil at 9am, break at Corromandel Lookout, lunch at Whitianga, break at Whangamata, split up at Waihi and head home.

Open to all 250 riders who are confident of managing a long but awesome day ride. Riders of larger bikes are welcome, but this is a 250 ride, so a 250 pace.
Heres a preveiw of some of the riding:

So Ej finally got a new bike, is it another scorpio or something else?

[Winter]

[deanohit]

Apparently it's a suprise.

MV Agusta 312 maybe? That would be a suprise!

Shit theres more bikes going up here than cars.
Doesnt seem to be an organised ride..just groups of half a dozen and then 20 or so..hasnt stopped all morning.
Everyone must be getting a ride in b4 the cold weather sets in...
Heaps of classy looking bikes.
And good to see most riders are wearing good gear

[EJK]

I'll make sure the bike is fit for the ride

Hope the weather is fine on Sat!

OK, Aucklanders gather at BP Autobahn at 8am. Taking SH1, 2, Miranda Road, then to Kopu.

Lunch at the Squids (so suits us) in Whitianga? lol

Are we meeting at the same place Deano?

Hey anyone know a rough amount of time the ride takes? Could be keen but not for an all dayer...Got things on in arvo!

[EJK]

start at 8am, last time we were back at near 5-6pm. C'mon, you should come lol

[Ragingrob]

That's one long day! I might not be able to handle it haha , especially if it's as hot as it has been. Though I'm guessing this ride is kinda learner friendly?

[TOTO]

I wish I could come with you guys but gotta study for my exams on monday and wednesday.

I've been wanting to do a coro loop ride for ages ...nevermind. I'll come to the next one. Have fun guys and EJ , make alot of pictures brother. I wanna see how it went.

Cheers all.

[EJK]
