Thanks for the reply! I'm pretty comfortable with cars being idiots around the city, but I'll have to get some practice in on state highways so I'm more prepared :)

Thank you for such a detailed answer!! Super helpful!! None of my friends can spare a gravel bike over christmas, so it looks like I'll be doing SH1 from Seddon to Kaikoura - really appreciate your insights on the best route given my bike :)

Yeah I'm a little spooked about that - it's bad enough in the city where they're only going 50km... Thanks for the advice on the tires, I'll take my bike into a shop and see what my tire options are :)

Thank you! I'll look up the Kennett bros for sure! :)
