Napier to Wairoa.

[saltydog]

How is this bit of road? (apart from the odd shooting!)
Its unreal.
I rolled in to the Mobil there with my tyre just about jelly.
That gorge section with the big sweepers is particularly juicy.
Saw a few bikes on my travels, WHK to Wairarapa via Rainbow Mt, SH1, Vinegar hill, the Paihatua track to Martinbourgh and then back up via the east coast, Gissy and through the Waioweka gorge.
Took a couple of days, 1 x speeding ticket near Danniverke and finally got the last out of the supercorsa.
Nice ride, but the napier to Wairoa was the best!!!

Totally agree. The road keeps you alert, the scenery is brilliant. And there is a nice pub 1/2 way where there is no mobile phone reception, so you can enjoy the drink in peace. I do that road now and then when the urge comes over me to blow off some cobwebs.

Yip did that ride on sunday, with a group of 15 bike, yes the road is in good nic at the mo, went to wairoa for a pie, then back to napier,
very good ride,

[ynot slow]

Want to do it Labour weekend from Palmy to Wairoa.

[crazyhorse]

The road was dry, no loose stones, no shit - absolutely great for once.

So long as it doesn't rain before labour weekend, should be fine. If it does, then watch out for the diesel on the road - that is one road that's bad for it

Biking nirvana.

I use to love that bit of road...

[celticbhoy]

I did it in Jan and it sucked big time! Not the road design cos that was awesome but the bloody tar was completely melting and had to stay well away from the car tracks as once you hit those slidey slidey! Can't wait to go back and do it when road in good nick.....

Thats also nice. A bit of a dodgy road surface closer to Gissy on that hill...and the smell of bacon!

And goats and turkeys.

Saw 3 different lots of goats, all on the shoulder scoffing grass and gawking.

Can't forget the ducks! ............... Mum walking across the road with a row of her babies trailing behind on Sunday just gone.

Yeah, the road from Wairoa to Gisborne is great. You'll love it.
