    Yup, +1 to attest to the shoddyness of that road at the moment...

    Huge amounts of works...

    Had been snowingCOuld see where cars had slid off onto the side of the road, fortunatly I was on the back of a bike with a very experienced rider so stayed on the road. HAd to stop at the hot pools to warm up. My favourite stretch of road, beautiful.
    Last time I as on that road was just before you I think. We drove it in white out conditions and only just got off as they were shutting the gates at Rangipo. Good times

    I did the same last week. 0 visibility with my visor down, visor up was 1 or 2 metres visibility, plus the fog carries the grit and dust directly into your eyes. Out the other side my bike looked like it had been through a cement mixer!
