Little vid HERE.

I prefer going north to going south on this road - don't ask me why - just one of those things.

nice vid. I will have to go up this sh22 just for the adventure now

i feel a plan forming.....

heres a tip if you goin to the sky tower...........they charge you $27 i think just to go up in the lift to the observation deck...........if you ring first
and book breakfast up in the rotating restuerant the ride up in the lift is free then you can still get the views while havin a feed

Don't waste your money on the Skytower, go up Mt Eden (The extinct volcano, not the prison) and you get just as good a view with more room to run around.

I rode state HW 22 Last week major road works fixing the drops and holes other wise is a fun road that keeps you awake. At normal road legal pace its a walk in the park so unless your setting speed records you will be fine. Just keep and eye out for fresh gravel
