    I work for the ARC. Auckland Regional Transport Authority "ARTA" who work above us in the building (Part of the ARC) - they might be a good contact for you to find any information out. Unfortunately I would not know who to contact yet as I have only really just started working there.

    Ok so far what ive gotten is that FIRST i need consent from local councils, who will then need me to get permission from the locals. So what infact i need to do is find a secluded piece of windies and get permission before i do ANYTHING. As it has been pointed out by a few people there's no point in getting council approval and then being voted out by locals.

    Ok ill check out some maps and stuff for any windies that seem feasible and then go check em out. Any particular places people would like me to check out?? Any suggestions from the experienced riders as to what roads may be good spots?? (it would save me having to go check em out)

    Again if ANYBODY thinks or feels that im going about this the wrong way or has suggestions of what else i could do initially then please PLEASE let me know!! All advice will be taken seriously!! I can't emphasise enough this point enough!!!

    Ive never done anything like this before (especially of this magnitude) so yea.

    Cheers for all the help and advice so far guys and thanks for putting me in touch with the right people!!

    This might take a year maybe more to get going so no promises about posting a thread advertising a closed ride at the hunuas anytime soon

    hey guys,
    have done a few runs since i last posted and so far the best road seems to be oakleigh rd off sh12....bout 30kms of windies and from memory there didnt seem to be too many houses along there or much traffic.....

    will go have a chat with the locals there after exams to see if they would mind letting us use the road for the runs....still a while to go though so yea
