There is a good loop, and there is a good cafe nearby, not to mention a wine shop.

Go HARD

I had tried not to use the main roads at all, From Te A, I travelled the Pokuru rd, Slofox's map would suit Hamilton riders better.

Rangitoto rd had loose chips on some corners, following seal patching.,


Returning from Te Kuiti, I took the Hangatiki east road (behind the airstrip), onto the old Te Kuiti rd, 2nd right into Puketawai, left into Whawharua, ( smooth and curvy),left into Tahaia, 2nd right into Hewer rd. Back onto Otewa rd, turned right, and up to Toa bridge, Tauraroa valley rd, 2nd left into Mahihi rd, Whibley, Ngahape rd and straight run back to HW3 at Te Kawa.

This is where I thought there would be too many turn offs for a large group ride.

I would suggest a large number of us have been through most of these roads at one point & having riders 1,2 or even 3 pulling over at turning points I'm sure we would get around OK, worked great on the Pyes Pa ride..... ideal loop for winter days when time is a crucial factor & I'm sure even us BIG SPORTS TOURERS could make it around without to much fuss

Obviously concessions would be made for us Harley riders, as we all know Harleys only go in straight lines.

Is that why Harley riders travel in groups? So they can all help with lifting each others front wheel around at corners? Now I know what those front mounted highway pegs are really for, something to hold onto.

Yep, on the really flash rides there are forklifts in the support vehicles

Thought the forklifts were for assisting the riders off the bike at the end of the ride?

Anyway would be nice to see a few Harleys on the runs. Then I can ride behind one and pretend that exhaust note is coming from my bike.

And "MUST STAY MORE THAN 150MTRS BEHIND TEC " Also "MUST PARK MORE THAN 200MTRS AHEAD " of main Group when making a rest stop
