Video, as mentioned. I think I'll definitely do it again … hopefully during daylight hours.

Thanks for uploading the Route. Gave it a go (23-DEC-2024 so New Zealand summer time) and personally found it to be brutal! 😆 Started late in the day, and with air temps up to 32ºC, ended up running out of water and strength, and finished at Martinborough Square just before midnight. I'd say around a third of the route is gravel road mixed with some broken tarmac sections, and some occasional aggressive washboarding. Lots of scenic, winding downhills, but with around 11 significant climbs along the way. Will attempt again sometime, but with plenty of water and daylight. Some quick photo grabs uploaded here from a video, currently in production. Coming soon. Cheers! 🚴🏻
