A better version of breakaway's route:

Google Mapz. (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Auckland&daddr=-36.977598,175.01152+to:Orere+Matingarahi+Rd+to:Kai aua+Rd+to:Hunua+Rd+to:Otau+Mountain+Rd+to:Maraetai +Dr+to:Mayoral+Dr&geocode=FefAzf0dp7ZqCilNJ5tD-0cNbTETfjlLtTskhA%3B%3BFUaHy_0dHlFyCg%3BFea7yf0d1s 9yCg%3BFXrSyf0dGsFvCg%3BFbEfy_0dd4pvCg%3BFbI8zf0dV PtuCg%3BFaymzf0dPqxqCg&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=12&via=1,2,5,6&sll=-36.982809,175.012207&sspn=0.085567,0.22007&ie=UTF8&z=12)

I suggest doing Maraetai on the way there, and saving Twilight Rd for the trip back (I prefer doing Twilight Rd on the uphill).

Have a blast. :niceone:

down the drive and turn left. Any ride is a good ride if your stuck in a office all week!
