Did it earlier in the year. The gravel section is shrinking slowly. It was pretty dusty when I went through. The odd rougher bit where some slips had been cleaned up but doable on a road bike (I did on my Vee though) if you use caution.

Did it on Sunday on a Daytona 955i south to north the road is in clean condition and the gravel is ok its only about 12 ks so not a major on the bird..

If you feel the need for a refreshment on the way stop in at the gallery at matahiwi,they do a good cuppa and there is cold drinks etc..



Take your time and enjoy
