BOP Cruisy ADV ride - Late August

**Rosie** · 11th July 2008, 20:43

Clint640 is moving out of his lakeside abode at the end of August. I already had some plans for a BOP adventure ride based at his place, and now I have to organise it before he moves out.

Sooo... the ride will be on August 30th & 31st

The general plan is to make it a two day affair, taking in some cafes, hot pools and interesting (but not technical/difficult) gravel roads around the Rotorua lakes and western BOP. I'm no speed demon

so novice adv riders don't have to fear being left behind.

There are a reasonable number of spare beds, and heaps of lakeside camping space at Chez Clint.

More details will be posted here, and on the calendar, as they come to hand.

Edit: We are meeting up at Clint's place a bit before 10am on Saturday, heading to Okere Falls Store, where we will meet up with everyone else at 12 for lunch, aiming to get going at 1pm.
Remember that there isn't any fuel at Okere Falls, so you'll have to fuel up in Rotorua or Paengaroa beforehand.

Will try to be there.

BOP weather is generally much nicer than dreary ol Waikato weather.

I could well be a starter for that!

My partner and i would be keen on this ride,she is only on a DR200 so is no speed demon either. She would also love the chance to ride with other female riders, so if any other ladies out there are considering this ride -speak up

Weekend of 30 / 31st of August is no good for us as international car rally is on then

Ok, I've made a decision. The ride is going to be on August 30th & 31st

I've entered some details into the Calendar and will be updating that as I get more organised.

Roise, i'm sure this will be a good outing so i'll add my name to the list, thanks and no doubt the weather will be pretty nice as well.

Hi Rosie. Any room on your ride for a couple of riders from Hawke's Bay?
