Both my bikes have been off the road for 3 months due to trip back to UK & US on the way home and lots of other stuff going on so desperately needed to get out and do some Km,s .
Some friend had told me that the Wanganui river road is now sealed the whole length. I have never been down there before but thought today would be a great time to try it out.
The road took over 30 years to construction and was opened in 1934. Before then, all access to remote settlements was by boat only. Key settlements included: Hiruharama (Jerusalem), Koriniti (Corinth), Atene (Athens) and Ranana (London).
Also meant I could come back down the Para paras one of my favorite motorcycle roads :)
So anyway I went through Athens , London and Jerusalem all within the space of an hour.
465 Kms done cleaned off a dirty bike and a great day :)

ReplyDeleteYou will have to try out the north island roads on your next trip !!
DeleteGreat day out. I am thinking about doing a 1600km ride in 24 hrs in October but need to get some serious conditioning in before that judging by my aches after yesterday :)
