You bet! Hardly a straight section on it and the only gravel bit is the last 2km or so to the site.
Just watch it at "the Bluffs", road narrows a bit plus be wary of camper vans stopped in odd places while the brainless occupant take pics of the splendiferous scenery.
Rumour has it that this year it falls on the same weekend as the infamous Glenorchy Races so the road could be a tad cluttered in places with horsey related traffic etc

Nobody, and i mean NOBODY can ask for anything more. (I know i'm leaving myself open here but...). The only problem is i can't imagine m/c heaven translated to tarseal.
It could be bootiful combinations of varied cambered turns with small streches of straight stuff, but then i wouldn't have time to admire the scenery which is what i managed to do even on the straight haul (inland scenic) to Geraldine...
In the end i think i'll just ride it and i'll probably find out what you mean...

The road is not dangerous - the scenery is, it makes you forget to watch the road!!

Yip I enjoyed the rally, took the harley, rained most of the way there, arrived at 5pm, cant remember the fireworks, met dangerous and manuboy on sunday morning. Went home via dunedin, no speedin tickets, was that you scumdog in a silver commodore giving some poor bastard a ticket. About Glenorcy, there was 2 bike accidents last year on that road, one was serious so take it easy if you dont know the road. We were nearly blown into the guard rail at the bluffs. Hope they get the food sorted out, wasnt much last year and they ran out of coke early on sat night. Cheers Toddy
