It's times like this I wish I still lived in Auckland, there's so much stuff going on up there!

The one and only time I went to Piha, I somehow ended up the Waitaks where the road got more narrow the further you went up.
Great view back over Auckland though...
Went all the way back to Lincoln rd Maccas for lunch and asked the question...

Should be a fun ride... I am doing the 5 station poker run on that day

[hellokitty]

I looked at the map - you are doing that route from Taupaki? That is a really nice ride, and not as busy as the main route from Titirangi

I would go through swanson then up Mountain Rd. Hill climb fun!!

The map is a general idea for the route, but depending on time we might get to do some extra nice twisty bits of road too

The weather is certanly looking like it is going to play ball
