Popular Post johnnyfive Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Posted June 27, 2021 Yeah gidday. Need to know info FRIDAY 12TH, SATURDAY 13TH, SUNDAY 14th, NOVEMBER 2021 600km, approximately 200km/day. 160-170km between gas at worst. Book your own accommodation $20huk for vehicle fuel money So if you're in here you probably have some idea what the game is, hop on your little bike, come for a 3 day ride through quiet roads, in less populated areas. Please see other similar endeavours, refresh your mind, and the foam at your bungholes. Eastcapescapade 2017 Eastcapescapade 2018 TeUrewera Undertaking 2019 TeUrewera Undertaking 2020 Route This year will be closest to our 2018 route. Except between Gisborne and Te Araroa on day two, we will travel an inland route through hill country and forestry. Route is over public roads, tarseal and gravel. Recommend riders are comfortable with gravel, but can travel at their own pace, and learn as you go. Day one from near Ohope to Gisborne, via Motu Rd and Rere Rockslide and Falls. Day two from Gisborne into the hills, to Te Araroa/Hicks Bay for the night, optional side trip to lighthouse. Day three from Te Araroa, follow the coast back through Ohope to our starting point. Wainui to Gisborne Day 1 by John Bell, on Flickr Gisborne to Te Araroa Day 2 by John Bell, on Flickr Te Araroa to Wainui Day 3 by John Bell, on Flickr Accommodation So night one in Gisborne is easy, I intend to stay at the Waikanae Beach Motel, they should be able to house most of us, and there's plenty of choice pretty close by. Everyone group up and try and keep tabs on who you've agreed to share rooms with. https://www.waikanaebeachmotel.co.nz/ https://top10.co.nz/park/waikanae-beach-top-10-holiday-park Night two up the Cape could be somewhat of a compromise. Neither Te Araroa Holiday Park, or the nearby Hicks Bay Motel can house all of us if our numbers get up a bit. I have booked a unit at the Te Araroa Holiday Park, they have a number of units and bunk rooms available, plus lots of tent space. Some options will require linen etc. The website isn't completely accurate, and things operate on coast time there, send Bill an email and let me know if there is any issue. Some of us will probably end up staying at the Hicks Bay Motel just over the hill. http://www.teararoaholidaypark.nz/ https://www.hicksbaymotel.co.nz/ I may update this post to include things I'm missing or if changes come about.

HighLUX Posted June 27, 2021 Posted June 27, 2021 Pix taken on the new inland route between Gizzy and T.A. Sweet road with some big climbs that get to around 700m elevation. Lots of good views, lots of grass and lots of biiiiiig country plus a couple of creeks with optional water crossings 9 Quote

Mop Head Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Roads look so lush on the detour. Just booked Waikanae Beach Motel and Hicks Bay Motel Lodge for the FOAMERS 1 Quote
BLIZZO Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Bring ya tent ya pussies. Guess it’s easier to have the soup kitchen in a motel than a one man tent. 2 Quote
HighLUX Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Speaking of soup kitchen when we talked to Bill at the T.A motorcamp he showed us thru the old movie theatre thats been converted into a 12 bed bunkroom. Has a 3 bedrooms with 4 bunks each, a kitchen and its own private covered deck/bbq area Good option for us to book out as the gang pad for the night 1 Quote
HighLUX Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 A couple of terrible videos showing the road condition with the poor Jimnys primitive traction control having maximum derps 2 Quote
johnnyfive Posted June 28, 2021 Author Posted June 28, 2021 Yes, someone might have to take the lead on the bunkroom booking, and try herding cats to ensure everyone within has a bed accounted for and collect $$ etc. Bunkroom requires you to bring your own bedding, hence me going for the upscale options. Also Bill requires all garbage is taken away with at your departure, so we might have to do a dump run as part of Day 3. Quote

Atex Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 Keen as to get on this as missed out last year. Lee will be in with a grin too! 2 Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 It is with heavy heart that I must bow out from this years event. I have other commitments that weekend. I never saw the east Cape lighthouse last time either. I demand that each participant smashes an extra pink pussy for me. And remember to steer clear of the cheap fillers at the succulent Chinese buffet. Maybe next year team..... 5 Quote
