Went for a ride this morning with the lads to Akaroa. This is a warning to all riders, there are roadworks in the last 500 m or so before you enter Akaroa, I'm talking about the downhill twisty bits. The road works are signposted but there is a large patch of fresh seal with gravel that is on a blind, downhill, left hand corner. It is also in the shade (at 11.45 am) and virtually impossible to see especially if you have a dark visor and or sunnies. I went sideways and had to put my left foot down dirt bike style to save my ass and I was doing 50! The temporary speed limit is 50 km/h, but trust me, you want to be doing no more than 30 km/h.
