The thing that interests me in this game is a fast game, finding the tag and having some competition in retrieving it is always a bonus. If I can't find the tag within the first half hour/hour I've lost interest and may go for a ride in the area of the tag, if I know the general area. But when its in the Hutt Valley I need to get its exact location so I can go in and get out of the Hutt as quickly as possible, as I don't enjoy riding around Hutt cages, they drive in the fast lane slowly and change lanes without indicating.

Weird....I find the Hutt motorists by far the most Biker Friendly in Wellington.
In the rush hour they give us a 'ghost' lane all the way from Rimutex to Wellington, most easiest lane splits I ever experienced.

My advice is never split lanes coming up to a merge
In the case of the pukerua hill lanes, run up the inside left till you hit the merge zone, then duck across to the outside right and run the painted island to the top. Done. :)l
