Yep, no 42nd traverse stuff. There will be one or two small creeks to ride through. The larger one is the one you see Gerda riding through. It could be a little more challenging with a bit of rain. The Motu Rd has some slower sections, but nothing is challenging, just a little slower from the usual gravel road hooning. I'll use the 1150 with a dribag strapped to the seat. Tyres will be Anakees.
To do the full loop with require a consistent pace, without too many stops along the way. We should probably leave 7.30 am from BP Papakura. Arrive in Opotiki 4 hours later for lunch. Then do the Motu, depending on how we go, we can do the short or the long version. Then we look for a place to spend the night. I think we'll decide on the day how far we'll go. I'll have a few accommodation options lined up.

hope ya not suggesting that clothes optional place AGAIN. its a bit cold for that and they seem to have aproblem with extra gravity there..
. I've thought about it. But the fickle weather and the logistics of it all make it too daunting. You could easily spend 2-3 weeks riding around southern Germany, France and Italy.
