We were through there both ways today. Apart from a couple of patches of new seal near Manakau, the road was tidy and traffic extraordinarily well behaved for that stretch of road.

I believe this may be the one I heard on the radio News that the Rider had an open face helmet and has very serious facial damage. Yuck! Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Hope it's not so bad and a full recover is under way.
