    World's Greatest Rides in NZ

    Henry Cole is filming a 'worlds greatest rides' for the Travel Channel, starting in Auckland today.

    I hung out with the crew for a while this morning. Top people. Wish I could go with 'em!

    Having seen his efforts to date I think the chance of him doing justice to NZ is pretty much zero.

    Well - I've ridden all but 3 of the red shield State Highways now and IMO the best places to ride are in the south, where the 'epic-ness' of place is unrivaled.

    But some of the best roads are actually in the Western and Southern Waikato.

    I hope he rides something with mudguards so he doesn't complain about riding in the rain. And I also hope he provides more commentary about what he's experiencing rather than bitching at his longsuffering cameraman.

    That said, I have enjoyed his travels so far, particularly roads I've ridden in the USA.

    Well thats easy. If he's finishing in Chch on the 28th, he can do the TT2000 on the 26th and 27th... plenty of excellent roads in that ride

    I'd heard a rumour that Ewen McGregor was 'sposed to be here (or soon) to do a doco on interesting bike collections & a fella I know has one....

    Wasting this place riding through it without stopping to explore it.

    Apart from that - personally I'm against endurance competitions on public byways.
