Road condition updates

[RiderInBlack]

hi there , not sure if this has been posted or not ,,, the road is state highway16 heading from kaukapakapa to wellsford ,, went up on monday evening ,, the tight twisty stuff just before the look out they have resealed and left all the marbles/stones around ,, shouldn't take too much traffic to wash it all away but take care

Yep

24/02/05:
Kaukapakapa (KKK) SH16 to Wellsford: There is a new seal and unmarked centre line with pea metal just before the look-out (coming from the KKK end).

But we needed an update If you ride that road regularly then keep it updated.

Thanks

02-03: SH6 between Blenheim and Nelson, just outside Rai Valley, they are re-sealing the road so be on the look out for lots of pea-gravel and Stevo going slow to avoid stone chips

Ride safe out there guys

Looks like they are about to rip into my home road again (Mangakahia Road). Just my luck as they started last Sat and I had organise a ride using part of that road that day. It appears to just be patch repairs and mainly from Titoki through to Parakao. It is sign-posted @ the moment. I'll update this as soon as I work out where they have put it all.

3/03/2005:-
Mangakahia Road: Over the bridge past Mangakahia Area School in Titoki for about 1Km there is fresh pea metal (first 2 pics). 2Km after that, starting on "Fraser's Flat" there are patch repairs being done of and on for the next 4Km (next 2 pic) upto the little bridge before Jack Rd.
Mangakahia Rd just South of Parakao: Still metal lurky around the center line on 2 corners (see last 2 pics). Bloody Trucks and Cagers cut the corner, throwing verge metal onto the apex

Fu*k me, they have taken the signs down on the section over the bridge from Titoki, but this is new seal with loose pea-metal on it Fu*ken eggs. Not to worry there is a sign by the school for the new seal done just there and if you egg-naw the "Road Works Ends" before the bridge you would be right on the money. The other bits between "Fraser's Flat" and the bridge before Jack Rd is still signed and has new seal.

The 3 between Hamilton and Te Awamutu has a section of it that is lots of fresh pea metal for about 1 and a half kilometers roughly 9 or 10K's out from Hamz. Had trouble keeping the milk truck on the road with that stuff.

will keep updates every wensday when I do that part of my route.

So that will still be there when I go down that way next Tues? Would give you a rep point, but the site tells me I have to "spread the love" again

caution on Piako bridge new seal today (large metal), this is the coat hanger shaped bridge between Waitakaruru and kopu bridge on higway 25, so if your going to do Coromandel loop this weekend watch out on the bridge.

Sorry, have to spread the love again:
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Firefight again."
But thank anyway I was going to use this road on Sun/Mon. Might still do.
