Wellington Rideouts - Where next?

[BMWST?]

Anyone up for a Wairarapa Gravel ride tomorrow? I plan on leaving Featherston Mobil at about 9.00am if anyone is interested in a day on the back roads of the Wairarapa, I plan on doing about 5-600km during the day.

Cheers

Had a good day out, got as far as Porangahau.

No pics untill I got to Masterton on the way up as battieries were flat in camera.




Pori Poad






Puketoi Road



Waihoki Valley Road



Coast Road near Akitio




Glenora Road




Birch Road East


While up that way I was having a look around for the start of Fingerpost road which is surposed to be a paper road/ farm track between Route 52 and cooks tooth road, but it was getting on a bit in time so I'll have to go and have another look sometime.

I also had a chat with a woman in Akitio who mentioned a track between Akitio and Herbertville through the Akitio Station, she gave me the name of the guy to contact about access. Has anyone been through there at all?

I've been meaning to have a look for that road also. Every time I'm out there, I also run out of time. Looks like you had a good ride. If I'd knowen you were coming this far north, I might have tagged along for a bit.

I've been through a number of times. We were going to go through on the RRRR this year, but they've been doing a lot of logging lately, so it's hard to get access.

Me and Wade (GPSman) went through about a year ago. It's a very well maintained road (better than most of the gravel out that way). Amazing views.

Thanks Bart, that does look like a good road through there, with some good sea views.

Welcome to forum HANGMAN.

Thanks for that. yeah thought it would just be a farm track, but be worth doing at least once.

Hi

I'm heading over to Martinborough on Sunday (with Steve and Tony) for a latte at whatever Toppy's is now called,

Aiming to get there about 9.30 and leave around 10ish to go into Sutherlands Hut. Will probably ride up to the start of Cnut hill and then try and get up the snotty hill to the east of the Hut.

Aim to have some sammies for lunch at the hut.

Anyone who wants to come is welcome.

Anyone from Wellington wanting to travel over together, either PM me, or meet me at Caltex Rimutaka for an 8.50 am leaving time.
