Anyone done the Gisborne loop - SH35+SH2?

[Finn]

Borrowed a K7 thou and rode to Gisborne Friday morning. Did East Cape then up to Tauranga Sat. East Cape was a great ride with lots of natives in thier natural habitat. Saw a head on between 2 cars near Te Puke.

Trip report over.

If you are talking about Opotiki round the cape to Gisborne and back to Opotiki via the Waioeka Gorge...then yes, it is sealed the whole way (barring roadworks).
Twistie heaven and lots of us have done it. I think it is about 500kms and can be done in a day. You will know you've had a decent ride tho...

I'll second that, we just did a North Island trip including the Waioeka Gorge, utterly fanatastic!!!

LOL thanks Raj, You were with onther people right - doeas that mean you had an orgy on the cape ?

point well taken. i'll do that tour soon. How many days all up was your tour and what route did you take to and from auckland? I assume you didnt stay on any boring straight state highways.

Well you certainly wouldn't want to root one of the locals.
