Akatarawa road
Paikakariki hill - short but fun.
Around lake Ferry over the Takas.
umm....
just get a different bike and do all those ones you have already done, again. It'll feel like new again.

Try them on a beat up RF... I'll swap ya...![]()
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
Why did you name yourself after a rapist? Hmm....
Just get a map and look for the squiggly lines which indicate corners.

Try around the lake to Martinbough- Gladstone -Masterton-Carterton and back to Martinbough, plenty on back roads to cruise and explore.
the Moonshine Hill road is quite good too - tighter than most, but I think less tight than the Akatarawas (which I haven't done yet on a bike - it's on my todo list).
There's also some little obscure roads which are a bit more suburban but quite fun anyway:
Sweetacres drive and others along the top of the Western Hutt Hills (you can get right along from Belmont to Korokoro)
Another (short) one is I think the Old Porirua Rd up to Khandallah from the bottom of the Ngaio Gorge (winds up the right side of the valley above the main gorge road)
You probably know the back road from Johnsonville to Tawa, but the low speed limits are encroaching from the ends of that these days.

Not to mention the riding out Whitemans and Mangaroa Valleys as well.![]()
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
- James Dickey, Cherrylog Road.
I'm in Upper Hutt and often go akatarawa - paekak - Moonshine curcuit.
I bit tighter than most would like tho...
Takas never fails to amuse!
maybe explore whitemans valley?
Wainui coast road?
Shelly bay/mount vic area - lotsa hazards so not to fast!
My fave is over the takas then right at featherston around west side of lake wairarapa, maybe stop at lake ferry for a pint/lunch then explore up to ngawi or check out the pinnicles. back to marty for a coffee and then home.
Gladstone area is great, any roads around there. Admiral hill my fave - again tight!
Just explore and have fun!
Good luck and safe riding.
ohhh...moonshines a bit nasty. and the akatarawas. unless your comfortable trying to go for it with less than one lane in most places...not much chance to get out of first.
another half decent one is Oharu (spelling...???) valley, behind johnsonville, going up to makara/karoiri.
unfortunatly this is a narrow little bast' like the top two. My stomping ground is Paekakariki Hill....look for the darkiesI love that place. If you pick your times right, you shouldn't hit too much traffic...Stay left, and stay safe though.
Doesn't matter where you ride so long as your on a bike tho right??

East of Upper Hutt. There are IIRC 3 roads to get over there; the easiest to find is to head for the Takas, then turn right by the buildings on the straight just before the Te Marua hill.
There's also one somewhere round the Maidstone industrial area, and behind Pinehaven/Silverstream.

There is also for a slightly longer ride the Wellington/Mid find a back road/go to Palmerston for brunch ... but you need a map for that one .. also jsut januting up the line to places like Levin.
