Any fun ideas or advice for this Canadian chica?

[roadtripdiva]

Hey there everybody,

Happy New Year!! I've been traveling around New Zealand since early december on my bike....just escaped Canada before the snow came. Northland was beautiful as is Coromandel, such great windy roads with stellar lookouts. It is such a rush riding on these roads here...I've got a perma grin going on.
Met up with a super nice kiwi biker today who said I had to get on this site 'cause you guys would have great ideas of fun roads for this chica to ride for the next couple of months. If anybody knows of any good biking events that are a must, I would love to hear about them.

Thanks guys!
ciao,
Rayne

In the north island ... go east (coast)... when you get to the south island ... go west (coast).


Can't go wrong.

Hey there,
Thanks for the heads up...so woodstock, aye? I'll have to look that up. Had a blast out the cruising the last couple of days. Something about mixing hitting the road, feeling that adrenaline rush turn into euphoria and then chilling out on a beach. That's where its at for this girly.

Thanks for that. I'm gonna head down the east coast of the north island soon. Looking forward to getting into some more remote parts with more Maori culture. So the west coast of the south island....does it rain all the time there...people keep on telling me how wet it is, but you say its a good ride?

hey there,
kerikeri was such a beautiful town...made this little gardenener feel t\right at home. Loved checking out a really neat palmtree garden centre that had some nice gardens set up that you could stroll through. Such nice motorcycle mechanics there...really took care of me well!
