    Theoretically, yes, but you will then of course need a road-legal bike & rider (as on a beach).

    It's a regular hot topic in the adventure forum.

    Well, rode to the Mangapurua Trig yesterday. It's an out and back, but was an adventure for us on road bikes. 15ks of gravel past the Ruatiti domain, then 12k into the Trig. First 11k of the old Mangapurua road was dry and fun, but the last 1.2k was slippery and I fell off a couple of times. Got to the trig point and there was a ute and a quad parked up by some tents!
