CHCH: Have they gritted the road to Akaroa yet?

[Romeo]

As per subject, wanted to take my freshly rebuilt CB175 over to Akaroa tomorrow (Saturday 16th) but wouldn't be quite so keen if the roads all gritted up.


Cheers,
Romeo

Depends on how bad the ice is ... Thats campervan country now, and getting past them may be fun... not !!

Just ride and be carefull look ahead .....you will enjoy...

It's not that the grit is a problem, it just takes most of the fun off of it :]

Its fine, there is a little bit on a few corners but not too bad. The day should be OK but try and leave relatively early to miss the major traffic.

I did Chch - Diamond Harbour - Purau - Okains and back via SH75 today.

Ive been up in the bay of Islands living it up in the sun for the last week so would be keen to head out there tomorrow too.

Got engaged up there so will have to ask the missus............ not!!!

Just went to that place (that starts with a D that i wont even bother trying to spell) after barrys bay, and it was nice as no grit even though the signs were up, 5 new sections of seal that were perfectly smooth and no cars from the top of the hill until just after gebbies pass...

Freakin beautiful. Was a shame that i got totally raped by the wind on the way home, made it exciting. tons of other bikes out too.
