Oh dear!
How sad.
Never mind.
Maybe next time.
Just had a look at Metvuw - the forecast for Sunday is crap. Oh well, it's a few days out yet and this can change pretty quickly.

Crisis has all the roads,but he missed my favorite - Kaipara Hills Rd.

You're right there Motu, I'd never been up this road until yesterday afternoon, what a neat bit of country; tight, steep and single lane in places with great views of the Kaipara, absolutely wonderfull!
Other good news...the council has obviously spent some money of gravel as there is lots of it on the roads around Puhoi, Helensville, Kaipara at the moment. This makes a pleasant change from hard packed surfaces and is a great opportunity to hone your riding skills, I spent a pleasant few hours pottering around the area without saying hello to gravity even once....a miracle!
New road discovery #1:
Monowai road then on to Krippener is a nice combination (don't usually do Monowai as there are better parallel routes) but I do need a more agressive rear tho, wheelspinning up Krippener road is fun for a while but some traction might be good too.
New road discovery #2:
Oyster point road near Kaukapakapa towards the kaipara is technically a dead end but appears to have 4x4 tracks off the end of it thru to Jordan road (I believe this is a paper road). This might bear some exploration and conversations with the locals to determine access.

Good time for a thrash around north of Auckland!
