Regional restrictions? Not so much | Time Out 2021-22
Just make limitations opportunities
Had hoped to be heading North, cycling northland trails, this week but not able to leave Auckland yet.
It looks like our current regional COVID boundary (approx. the --- line on Strava maps) will be around for a while, Christmas or beyond, so looking closer to home. A peak at my Strava Heatmap, red (least) to orange (more) = ridden, reveals plenty of places to explore*.
Currently limited to day rides, no overnight or shared accommodation, so will be drive/day-ride no-contact solo rides to explore some of the gaps.
Great Barrier Island and Waiheke Island are out, locals only there, but plenty around the South Heads of Manukau & Kaipara Harbours, Warkworth Coast, and Hunua Ranges to explore.
* Have ridden some of these places pre-Strava but long ago enough to make revisit worthwhile
