On the way up I went via SH2 and then took a back-roads route to SH1 via Ashurst and Rangiwahia (basically the middle of nowhere) and then on to Whakapapa, where I camped for the night.
The next day I followed SH4 and then SH1, which leads all the way to Auckland.
The weather and riding was glorious on the way up. In stark contrast, it rained continuously all the way back to Wellington, so it was the ever so boring SH1 one for me.
Looking over towards the Ruahine Forest Park.
Somewhere near Rangiwahia.
Near Mangaweka not long before hitting SH1.
Bridge over the Rangitkei River. I had to ride the bike on one of the raised wooden tracks and hope nothing was coming the other way.
Near Whakapapa with Mt Ngauruhoe in the background.
