    From memory you can take the road which has the Waipu Caves sign on it and take that all the way to Maungakaramea and then head on to Maungatapere (just past it).

    Possibly Doctors hill Road (or something similar) also comes over from SH12/Paparoa way also where they do the rallying etc.

    Would have to look on maps my bike doesn't do off road to well.

    Intresting tyre. Wonder if they do them in 18"?

    I like the idea of being able to go over gravel.
    Some people think im bonkers.

    Don't seem to have one on Michelin's website. Avon Distanzia and Metzeler Tourance are similar tires - they may have an 18".
    Just beyond the horizon over there

    I don't think Anakees come in an 18". I run a Michelin Sirac in 110/80-18 on the front, Anakee2 on the rear. Works fine for gravelly bits, as well as the seal.
