From Aratiatia we headed further North from Taupo then hooked a left and headed west back to Whakamaru Dam.
When we first turned into this Road there was a big sign that said.
80 KPH.
HEADLIGHTS ON.
KEEP LEFT
Interesting I thought, very good Road surface, flat, good chip, wide !
Logging Truck road, execellent !
This road through the Valley was what I called STATE HIGHWAY ONE for M/C's.
This photo at the Western end at Whakamaru Dam.
Absolutely stunning country.
From here still heading North, up to Putaruru, skirted around that back into the Country Roads on to Tirau.
Again, in one side and out onto the Road to the Okororie Pub.
As mentioned earlier those little bikes do quite well
Got home about 6.30PM.
All up 380 Km's.
