Thank you heaps, I love sharing my cycling adventures with others. I rode the Southern Section of the Hunua Traverse today. Hope to have another video out for you over this next week

Wow, that washing station is epic,never seen anything like it👍though I might as I'm coming over to NZ shortly😀

They are only in the area where we have Kauri Tree. Unfortunately there is a disease called Kauri Dieback that is killing them. Where abouts are you going to be riding?

@janetstarkcyclingadventures ah that's very sad,buy great to come up with this initiative!! Well,I've got 7 weeks starting..in Auckland. No definitive plans yet, will make a route connecting as many highlights as I can.if you've any tips on Auckland please let me know👍

@@wannagobiking9071 you could look at the Tour Aotearoa Route you can buy a PDF with the route and it will take you all the way to Wellington then over to the South Island. Also if you have any hills practice on them before you come! I have just done a 40km ride leaving from my home with over 600m elevation. Totally depends if you like mountain biking/bikepacking or touring

Love this Janet! What an awesome overview. Did you encounter any cars or other cyclists while you were riding on opening morning?

[@janetstarkcyclingadventures]

Thanks Nicki, we encountered about 6 cars half on McNicol and Otau Mountain Rd so no busy. We saw 2 cyclists riding up Otau Mountain Rd on our return back to Clevedon. I do know that several riders went earlier than us.

I wonder if this will become part of the tour aotearoa route on day .. I spend the day waiting out the weather in Clevedon in my little tent today.. Taking the coast route for the next part of my tour aotearoa journey tomorrow onwards

@@damianaday4658 yes I suspect it will be added in as an option once the connecting Road between the northern and southern sections are reopened. Hopefully the wind dies down for you as you continue on your journey
