Don't know the street name, it was multi-lane motorway right into the city centre. I was referring to SH1 at Mercer in particular, really safe now at 50 km/h.

Oh dear,I'm going to be doing that one soon marty - I've been going south at night for the last year or more often and the traffic is light,the only holdup is the Rosscommon rd/Wiri station rd lights,and that seems a random event - but I haven't come north for a morning start yet...

i used to take an hour from cambridge to mercer, then 30 mins to the airport from there. it's not worth turning off at manurewa and going clevedon/roscommon - it's just too busy. likewise, don't go puhinui - too many lights, it's 50k, and packed. just stay in the *fast* lane, the stopping is only for a bit until the drury/papakura/manurewa traffic has merged, and if you're in the LH lane, you'll have to make room, which sends you backwards.

on the flip side, i could do airport-mercer in 20 mins at 0400am, then 50 mins home from mercer. not atm though, with all the roadworks thru te kauwhata.

I did West Hamilton to Whenuapai in 55 minutes on an XS1100 once in the early morning. The road is heaps better now but you'd be lucky nowadays to be that quick, too much traffic. Slept in and had to get to work. Luckily I didn't have to test that excuse. Full throttle everywhere, best start to the day you could get.

Girlfriend lived up riverhead Rd for a bit as well, also not a bad way to start the day, and finish it.
