Dad and I are going for a ride tomorrow, I am thinking of the following route!

Palmerston North - Aokautere - Pahiatua Track - Pahiatua - Ngaturi - Makuri - Rakaunui - Tiraumea - Alfredton - Ihuraua - Dreyers Rock - Whangaehu - Te Ore Ore - Wainuioru - Gladstone - Longbush - Martinborough - Featherston - Rimutakas - From here into Wellington and then the reverse on the way home!

Its late notice but do any of you night owls think that this route is safeish at the moment. Like no snowstorms?

Thanks
Anyone who reads this is welcome to come, I will check in the morning before we leave so just PM me your cell.

It'll be fine tomorrow. Watch out for damp in the shade and greasy lichen.

Ended up just going straight up highway 1. Into Wellington and checked out Wellington Motorcycles. Dad bought a visor insert that changes with the light intensity and I got me a tank bag for when I go on longer trips soon.

Weather was overcast and windy not too bad though. Stopped by the sea and took some photos!

Dad says that It works really well. He payed $35 for it. Just make sure that when they put it on that it sits in your feild of vision properly. Dads may be a but low.
