whats your home track?

[JohnBoy]

ever since i have moved to the waikato i have been serching for a new road to call my "home track" having trying out may local roads around cambridge, otorohanga and hamilton i am struggling to find a decent road to take the bike for a walk.
are there any well reconmened rides around between auck, ham and tauranga?
this probably sounds like a stupid question to you locals but with the summer coming i would like to do some decent crusing!
:ride:

It used to be called London. And the local race track was brands.

Now its called christchurch port hills and the local track is ruapuna.

It depends on how much time youve got dude.
The coro lupe is soposed to be the shit.

My favorite is SH16 onto a total bush walk called old north road.

SH25 & 25A matey thats the ticket, non holiday times though, tooo much traffic, anywhere coromandel bound is good riding, if you're ever headed out that way i'll come down n meet ya somewhere like paeroa or kopu. Providing my bikes in one peice that is :rockon:

Well Blenheim is a pretty good let down for any really good roads or a near by track.

[Zapf]

Is there a list / map of any sort of good riding roads?

I am pretty keen on making one, so if you guys can put up some suggestions I can get to work.

My 1st time on SH22 Sat and it was awesome :)

I dunno there used to be a road race at Hawkesbury you could go and do a few laps

[Marknz]

In Canberra it was going "up the hill", "to Church", or down to Batemans Bay for fish & chips at Bernie's. The real track was Wakefield Park, Oran Park or Eastern Creek.

Here, well I guess it has to be the Rimutakas or the Pahiatua track, and Manfield (although I'm yet to get on there in anger).

[bluninja]

I guess the home roads will now be the Meon Valley (A32 and A272).....beautiful countryside and twisty up and down roads.

Most local race track is Thruxton..about 40 minutes away...then I guess it's Brands Hatch 90 mins away. Local track in NZ was Puke, but I preferred Manfeild or Taupo.

how far and what sort of riding do you want to do? there are PLENTY of loop rides, short windy ides, long cruising rides etc etc around here.

[Motu]

My local track is Rosebank,less than 2km away as the crow flys,I go as often as I can during the season,a social gathering of my friends,I don't ride on the track though,but have done long ago.My roads? - I could talk about them in detail,but I don't think you would like them on your bike.
