Road 25a that crosses the southern coromandel, nice new asphalt and you can keep up a good speed there!
sorry missed the south island part
Reading this thread again and I realise I'm a lucky lucky boy. Mrs Oakie and I are doing a 7 day trip in November that takes in many of the roads mentioned ... Temuka - Pukaki, Lindis Pass, Cromwell - Queenstown, Crown Range, Wanaka - Haast ... Haast to Westport over 4 days ... then back home over the Lewis Pass. Mmmmmm.
Grow older but never grow up
Having just finished the southern escapade I gotta list a few of my new fave roads.
still love the Waimate gorge!
Going up the crown range from the wanaka side.
and riding up to the lindis was like a symphony on 8 wheels. The three in front of me leaning into the corners all at an even pace........booooootiful
WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL RIDE PURPLE................AGAIN

the road up the west coast of the south is...grail to us on the east coast the cherry on the top after the stunning ride through arthurs or lewis passes this road makes you droooool more than homer looking at marge(she is kinda hot) amagine sun at your back the tasman blue as blue up round the cliffs by punakiki, the camper van about to wipe you out full of beautiful blonde german or even betterer swedeish tourist girlies.

Mt Cook Road

Oh Yeah, Last weekend on the new bike. Hawea- Haast - Hawea. Wind / Snow slush / Hail BUT awesome all the same.
And the espresso at the Makorora Cafe ain't too bad either
Isn't the Lindus great, both ways
I just made it for you! My daily ride! But careful, it can catch you out. Respect is needed.
As evidenced by many a bike accident
