Map Overview Of Routes For kiwibob
Gentle Annie : Omahu - Taihape
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaFebruary 18, 2013 -
4.0The Gentle Annie Hill in the middle is narrow with very poor surface and steep but the rest of it is in good order and all tar seal (thats only recent in places so there are still quite a few loose stone chips)
No real worries about the police but youll be hard pressed to break the speed limit as this is a real twister.
Virtually no traffic on the Monday in February 2013 when we went but quite a few road works going on and we gather there are normally a lot of heavy trucks to be wary of.
We loved it.
Gentle Annie : Gisborne - Wairoa
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaFebruary 18, 2013 -
5.0No real worries about the police but youll be hard pressed to break the speed limit as this is a real twister.
Virtually no traffic on the Friday in February when we went.
Paparoa - Dargaville
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaJanuary 25, 2012 -
3.0A quiet road (highway 12) with a mix of hill country and flats. Good fun.
Russell Backroad
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaJanuary 25, 2012 -
5.0As always in rural NZ the surface is a constant surprise. This route is only recently tar sealed and (on this occasion) still lots of gravel patches but they should clear quickly.
Outside of the holiday season I'd expect little traffic except locals so you'd need to be on the lookout. There was also a stock drover with a small mob of cattle.
Tangowahini - Kaikohe
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaJanuary 25, 2012 -
3.0As always in rural NZ the surface is a constant surprise. This makes a very nice alternative to the coastal route but only if you've already done that one.
Panguru - Aripara
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaJanuary 25, 2012 -
4.0As always in rural NZ the surface is a constant surprise. This was a spectacular ride and hardly any traffic.
1 : Kartaia - Cape Reinga
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
5.0The last few kilometers were tar sealed earlier this year (2010) making this one of the must do roads in the country. Its quiet, apart from tourist traffic so pick your time, and offers spectacular views
39 / Hamilton Bypass : Otorobanga - Hamilton
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
3.0This route has been well signposted in recent years and is much busier than it used to be. It still makes an excellent alternative to transiting Hamilton and will certainly save time as well as being much more interesting.
Taupo Western Route
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
3.0The western route makes a great alternative to the main north-south route through the North Island. The roads are in generally good condition with wide sweeping bends. The main hazards are the logging trucks which can move surprisingly fast and consequent overtakers.
Coromandel Circuit (NZ_TTC 3)
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
5.0Probably one of the best days out you can find in the North Island. Weekends are best avoided due to the volume of traffic.
Hunua Circuit
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
4.0An interesting mix of rural back roads with good lunch stops at Cleveden
Manukau Heads - Waiuku
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
5.0Another nice circuit and Waiuku is pretty good for lunch spots. Make sure to stop at the top and walk up to the lighthouse (theres a clean public loo there too)
Highway 22
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
5.0One of the local favorites, coupled with a great selection of places for lunch in Raglan
Highway 54 : Hunterville - Palmerston North
North Island > New Zealand > OceaniaDecember 18, 2010 -
4.7Make sure to stop at the Stormy Point Lookout for fantastic views of the Rangateki Valley
