The road out to temple view is good for 360kmh on the back wheel.
Especially the 50k zone through the Mormon village.

Buy a map. There's dozens of great roads around the Ykato.

Take the back road thru Pirongia to Otorohanga, get on the boring ST HW 2 to Te Kuiti...(just a bit of boring crap) go straight through to Awakino via the gorge

wicked road, was one of my favourite Sunday rides when I lived up there. Great pub there too

and cheap accomodation if you decide to get ripped. If you go a bit further you'l get to the Whitebait Cafe. All the way to New Plymouth is a mint ride from there too.

GAWD I MISS THEM RIDES!!!!!!!!

As above - Pirongia, Otorohanga (can be via some of the Kawhia Road too....). Can then go north to Kihikihi, East through Parawera, either North through Horahora or over the Arapuni dam to Putaruru, up SH1 (boring except for screaming past the lines of cars stuck at 90 km/hr), over the Karapiro dam, through Leamington, through Kaipaki, past Mystery Creek to Airport Road, Raynes Road, Peacockes Rd, and home via wherever......(well I liked that trip....)
