Akaroa to Lyttelton?

[neels]

Long bay road and back around the summit road to the hilltop is worth doing, narrow in places but all sealed and usually in pretty good nick, and as mentioned above over gebbies pass and around the bays to lyttleton (or over dyers pass from governors bay) as an alterative to coming back through halswell.

I will be 2 up on the Wing.

Here is a more detailed route through .
Day 7

Ride in through Little River to Akaroa.
Up Long Bay Road above Akaroa.
Summit Road and down Pigeon Bay Road.
Homes Bay Road – Port Levy Pigeon Bay Road.
Pura Port Levy Road
Bay View Road. Governors Bay Teddington Road.
And through to Lyttelton.

All the above appear to be sealed and have a white centre line.
Looking closer PLPB Road looks unsealed , bugger.

No matter what anyone here says, DO NOT ride the unsealed roads on your Goldwing! In places it is very steep and if you meet a car coming towards you, it be almost impossible to get around them, especially if you have to stop. I've done it numerous times in cars and once on an 1150gs and was lucky enough not meet any oncoming traffic. Stick to State Highway 75 like someone has suggested, awesome road, be careful on the corners.

Yes Sir. Always riding safe, especially with the trouble and strife on board. Sort of a moderator so to speak.
She has a hardy little knuckle that hits always in the same kidney area, every time.
Going to double back a bit, I really hate that, and do the safer suggested routes.
While there are some gravel roads I am comfortable with on the Wing I wont be doing the first intended route.
Its a good excuse to bring the Triumph down sometime don't you think?
