Zactly, if you know the corner yeah but otherwise you only got what you had when you entered.

Can you confirm that the route is sealed all the way or is there some gravel somewhere?
Also where do expect to be at lunch time?
Cheers

Yes great ride today, nice roads, half of them I didnt know existed which is shame for me as I have lived here for so long.

Good to also meet some of you guys, its great having a bike that can be ridden on the road as opposed to the restrictions of the race bike.

Will look forward to the next ride

cheers all

I see " Waikato hard ass bikers " are joining in on LOR rides

They were all sealed the last time i was over them last year and earlier this year

I'd expect a late-ish (approx 1pm) lunch at Te Kuiti
