Postponed indefinitely. Sorry.
I have always enjoyed visiting The Coromandel peninsular and have had the pleasure of competing in a number of events there.
The trouble is that, as soon as there is a timer, I lose the ability to stop and enjoy the location and the view. So I thought that I would organise an untimed ride myself.
The idea is to start at Tapu, about 20 km north of Thames, and ride the 27 kilometres across the range to Coroglen, have lunch at the pub, and continue back over the”309” road, a total of about 58 km.
The idea is that if there is enough support, we could split into two groups, one starting at the 309 road, and the other at Tapu, so we could swap vehicles and meet back Tapu or Thames for fish and chips before heading home. Interestingly, the 309 road section is longer than the Tapu Coroglen road, but has less climbing. Faster or stronger riders may choose to complete the circuit and ride the road back to Tapu. It is about 30 km extra.
Contact me to discuss, and I will put the names of confirmed participants on the here.
I am interested in feed back as to the suitability of the day and the route
I have posted the ride on bikely, so check it out there.
