Just thinking about what makes a good road, and that'd probably be something that throws everything you can think of, at you, to deal with. I can't think of anything the 22 is missing (apart from closure signs at either end so we could race it)..
It's got everything from fast sweepers to slow tight hairpins, very smooth tarmac to lumps and bumps to make your bike fly (and I have), low valley spots up to high exposed hills, even not a heap of traffic (ok, some, with tractors etc, but not heaps).. everything and anything.. And all in a good hours' ride each way.
Does this make it one of the most technical roads around?
Are there any other roads that would compete to this? Around Auckland/Hammy that is.. I know the coro loop is there, but that's a days' ride, and a trek just to get it started.
And what's in the other regions? Is it the Takas around welly? Never ridden that way before, so wouldn't know..
I just want to share myfor the 22
