    Auckland Chapter wanted a weekend away, so it was time to ride the Coromandel Loop clockwise, with an overnight stay in Whitianga.

    Rain threatened, but made for a gorgeous day riding, although it definitely hot warmer:oops: as we passed midday

    After some quiet preparation :joy: a 10 person van booked and we were off to the local Mercury Bay Game Fishing Club for football, drinks and dinner :heart_eyes:

    Full English on the BBQ and we were off to complete the second half, with minimal nature and gas stops

    Looks like a great weekend on a great route.

    I was lucky enough to ride there with my son-in-law a few years back, me on a rented Versys 650 (really nice bike!) and him on his 690 Duke. We even stopped over in Whitianga!!

    Love the photos! I wish I could find a ride out in my neck of the woods! I think that it would be fun to tour with some folks who enjoy a collegial ride in a pretty place.

    I'm jealous!
