Sketchy as well with the amount of water on the road.Aucks to Palmy via Waioeka is about 850km but I don't have time...

...and back again.
Cracking day for a ride out there, bikes in all directions....got chased by a few sprotbikes down 39, mint.
Embarrassed a couple of Harleys down 8 mile, even minter.
Hideous tar and loose chip across 49, not mint at all.
Fantastic run through V.Hill to finish the trip (and passed a couple on a Bandit who were in pootle mode).
1022km all up, mintastilicious.
