Took the day off work and went for a spin to Castlepoint.
Pretty mint really, that section of the Wairarapa is just one giant playground. The pub at Gladstone is good, so are the eateries / cafes etc in Martinborough. Petrol can be an issue, particularly after 7pm, there's 24 hour petrol in Masterton but that's about it until Caltex Rimutaka, unless there's something further north in Dannevirke.
Lots of great loops in the district to ride.
Yep I can Vouch for those side ways gusty bits, especially around the Tin Hutt Race Course, (Tiranikau Horse racing course) Long straight roads begging for a bit of wrist, then up she comes and over you'se goes!
Had to steer mum and dads near new Kingswood station wagon out of the ditch that the "little gust" put us into, mum got such a fright, for the first time ever she had nothing to say, until I'd taken nearly a mile to slowly remove the whole rear end from the nice wide, not too deep ditch, not even a scratch.
Since then I've had a very healthy respect for the Wairarapa Winds.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
It it was a Holden, no surprises there.
not a ditch, that was the road.
there are a few nasty places for wind, us non locals should keep a look out for, generally in bully's and as the road passes beside breaks in hills. Also close to the coast.
and for the enterprising rider, there are some nice surprise roads to discover.
hence this area is in the good rides photo thread

Nice day for a ride over the hill...
Oh man so jealous.....

This particular tyre costs $350 so I figure I need to ride right on the edge a bit ... to save the middle.
