Road condition updates

Thanks Rainbow Wizard & Madandy

That what this is here for. If you see a road hazzard report it here. If you ride it regularly, update it. You might save a non-local KB'er a lot of damage.

hey R.I.B good meeting you at Cycletreads!

Was on Mangawhai- Waipu road last weekend- a bit of pea gravel only on that strip!

Hope it helps!

Have decide to give a "Good" rep point for anyone who posts useful road condition info in this thread. Be sure to date when you last saw that piece of road (to be useful it needs to be current), where the road is located in NZ, and where the road hazard is on that road (as best you can).
Keep up the good work dudes

Thanks,

02-02: Top of Picton Elevation SH1: They are widening the road up there and there is
a hell of alot of dirt and gravel strewn across the
road. Beware as with the rain its more like
clay/mud so not nice to ride on.

04/02: SH1: Just before leaving the 50km/hr area in Kiakoura there is a hell of a lot of road works with just gravel no seal. You can avoid the most of it by going through town and out the back way.

04/02: SH1: Just after Omihi, they are putting in another passing lane, so be prepared for stops and a bit of pea-gravel strewn across the road

04/02: SH1: Just on top of Picton elevation they are still doing the bridge extension so lots of dirt all over the show. This looks to carry on for a while.

Would give you another Rep point Snipe but they will not let me (have to spread the love first

).

The Herald is reporting a major diesel spill affecting the Albert St/Queen Street/Fort Street area of the Auckland CBD.

Here's the article.

No worries RIB, I do it for the safety of other riders, not for the rep.

BTW

06-02: SH6: Still some road works heading up the Rai hills 22kms out of Rai valley. Lots of dirt and gravel on the road, plus a lollipop stop.

Ride safe guys
