How long do you reckon your back needs Dodgy? I'd be keen to do the ride in a month or two.

This will be a nice ride, the road around the lake is good for any pace,

Going around the lake is absolutely beautiful. Although it can be raining and horrid on one side and sunny and hot on the other like it was when I did it last Sept. Plus there are some standout places to eat in Taupo, one even has motorcycle parking right out side and serves vegetalien dishes as well.
croc, I can't predict the bloody back, I am pushing it every day to keep momentum on my renovations but I would give it a 80% chance of doing the run by then. I will have to take a comfy bike, the Mk1 would put me in hospitol trying to do that in a day. If I'm still gammy I can ride down the day before and stay with friends in Traumaniu, and meet you guys on the way down if you go 8 mile junction to Taumaranui
Let's build on doing this, it will be a challenge and maybe even fun.

Maybe we could combine it with the 'take a chick riding day' and we could all stay overnight and leave them at the shops while we do the circuit... could visit the track as well??Originally Posted by Dodgyiti

It's 3 1/2 hrs from Aucks to Taumaranui if you take the alt route south and come out at Otarahanga then 8 Mile Junction and SH4 (wicked road to ride, has it all) so your talking a fair distance. But def Taupo has some good shops (or widebait), we may even lose Voli there due to the antique shops.
I could ask Diane if she wants to come but I was hoping she would babysit my mutts save the expense of the kennels, plus if she comes that will be her 2 plus my 2 dogs to board... it's mayham

ok, i see where this is going...i won't be able to say no even if i wanted.
but 10hrs in the saddle in a day even on a comfy gs seat is too much for me. i know...but i'm just not THAT much of a die-hard, not yet anyway
over two days? definitely!
