There's a tiny tiny chance that my wrist will be ok by then - but sadly doubt it.

You guys are going to have a bloody awesome time! Count me in for the next next one.

P.S. Let me know if you need to borrow a pack rack

Hey guy's, might join up with you on the 2nd day, as I was thinking of doing the coro loop with the res on the last day...

hey man, was sorry to hear about your wrist, you'll be missed on the next trip. I am well excited will get to give my new bike a good drive before winter settles in.

**Ragingrob** · 6th April 2008, 19:42

Hey guys, pretty awesome ride planned out! Depending on financials and plans I may be keen but will not register untill I know! If I'm short, I may be keen just to come on the Coro loop on that first day then bugger off to Aucks

We will see!

Hey guys, just been doing abit of research on the Gisbourne Loop and word is that there isn't much in terms of gas from Opotoki to Te Aroroa which is a stretch of 157km of very twisty roads.

If you reckon your bike won't be able to cover that distance i'd recommend bringing a small Jerry can or getting some to carry one for you.

Most bikes should be able to handle that but just incase..

Also, there are road works on this stretch of road so that means Gravel riding for bits of it, if you've never ridden on gravel before, go find some and practice. If you don't know where any is, Pm me and i'll show you some good (or shit) spots.

Corners are tight and unforgiving, wild stock roams the streets and road conditions aren't the best so just play it safe when we get to it. Bring a clear visor if you have one because it's highly likely will be getting in by night time on the second day.

Not trying to scare you or nothing, it's an amazing stretch of road and it'll be wicked fun as long as you ride your own ride and don't push yourself beyond your abilities radda radda all that mumbo jumbo. You should all know the drill..
