I love heading up central from Dunedin via SH 8!!
My favourite bit, getting to go through the Manuka Gorge...
Love those little twisties!!!!!!!!
I hope they never straighten it. I don't care if they build another section of road to go around in the future so long as that section is left open as a scenic route.
I wish I were a glow-worm, A glow-worms' never glum

Great little short ride is up over the Pareora gorge. Turn off just south of Timaru south side of the Pareora river and head towards the hills. Twisties for africa and good road. Brings you out at Cave on the main road to Fairlie. Nice loop through there to Geraldine via Totra valley,
ANY road between Picton and Bluff is all good.
my fav would be from Hamilton to whatawhata, only about 20klms.
why: because every time i ride on it means i'm on my way to a KB adv ride and im excited as f@#k

Just kidding, it's the noctoriously the most boring route NZ have.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
25mins from Hoyts Moorehouse Ave to Chertsey pub on a XJ750 many moons ago & it can be verified
it ain't no boring road by any means..... take that attitude and it'll bite you nigh on 20yrs of living in the middle of it & travelling it every day taught me that even though it's as straight as hell it's a place to be on the alert 100% of the time so it's far from boring.
