I know the coastal road is good, but heard not so great things about the inland route. Would probably just go coastal there and back personally.


Hope for good weather

Did the inland route last Sunday. Road was all good.

[Harvd]

Yeah did leader valley and south of waiau and the only place requring more care was in the leader valley with some grit. Otherwise the inland route is pretty worth it.

Have a goodun

Did the inland route last Sunday. Road was all good.

Did it twice over the last few weeks.
There is some grit (always is) and some road works (has been for the last few years after the floods and slips), but is ridable a safe.
Just do not go flat tack in to blind corners and you will be fine.
If wet be careful of some clay on the roads and small very short parts that a dirt (clay).
These could be repaired and be tar sealed by now.

Anywhere closer to a plan team?

jatz, we'll be leaving chch at 1030, so 12-1230ish?

dunno if i'll be cray fishing, but I'll be riding there and back.

[longwheely]

So I'm going to go up and get a cray.

I do not know the way beyond the leader valley, nor the best route, perhaps some suggestions?

it was a toss up between this and going to the salmon farms.
