Now that this route is completely sealed it has to be a \"must do\" for the more adventurous and competent motorcyclist. The Whanganui River valley is spectacular and has a lot of history associated with it. Finish the ride down through the Parapara's and you will have had a great day! Warnings: Cellphone access is very limited and fuel only obtainable in Wanganui and Raetihi!
A very good ride but remember it is along rural roads and be aware of the possibility of other traffic, particularly trucks, using it. Enjoy!
