I haven’t been up the coromandel for years and never on a bike, so now the weather is warming up I’ve decided an overnight ride to Fletcher Bay is in Order.
I plan to ride up from Papamoa on 22/10 (weather pending so not fixed in stone, could be a wknd either side) taking in as many of the gravel roads as practial. The plan is…Tapu coroglen rd, 309 rd, Kennedy bay rd, Port charles rd & Port jackson rd.If anyone is keen to join me your more than welcome. Happy to meet up at Thames or anywhere else that suits.
Cheers Tim.
September 22, 2016 at 10:50 am #14059Tentatively interested. That’s Labour long weekend and so lots will be on.
September 22, 2016 at 11:18 am #14060I could not decide whether going on Labour weekend was a good or bad thing. The good being I could hang with the family on the Monday & the bad being, as you say lots on, busy rds etc. Though I doubt Fletcher Bay campsite would be busy in October. If there is definite interest but 22/10 does not suit, Im happy to go on 15/10 or 29/10.
September 23, 2016 at 2:46 pm #14076If you decide to go either 15/10 or 29/10 and the weather outlook is okay then I’m keen and could meet up in Thames. I did a ride at Christmas to Coro including the Tapu and Coro roads and am happy to ride these again as well as explore north of Coro, where I haven’t travelled yet.
September 23, 2016 at 3:59 pm #14077Same here, 15th or 29th work out best.
September 23, 2016 at 8:54 pm #14081Ok, great to see some interest. Since I’m not fussed on which weekend I shall officially make it the 15th Oct with a poor weather backup of 29th.
Scott – Happy to meet up at Thames.September 25, 2016 at 10:20 pm #14098Is there gas stops along the way? My tank can only go 180kms and less offroad
September 26, 2016 at 7:52 am #14100According to google maps the longest section, coromandel town to fletcher bay and back again is approx 145km. Fuel in Thames and Coromandel town.
September 26, 2016 at 9:36 am #14102I’m out, unfortunately I already have plans both those weekends.
September 26, 2016 at 10:23 am #14103No worries Eddie. Maybe next time. Should be a blast, all new roads for me and I get to test out my new tent.
September 27, 2016 at 8:32 am #14105I am keen will confirm nearer to the date
September 27, 2016 at 2:00 pm #14115There is fuel at the Colville store (Between Coro town and Fletchers) , but prepare to be paying over inflated world market prices…..
