they are shocking here in taranaki. i rode my motorbike south to wanganui a couple of weeks ago, and was a nervous rider until i got to waverly, where magically the roads improved and i was no longer concerned about hidden holes. before that, i hit quite a few that were hidden until too late to go around them. i am no novice rider, have ridden many many miles in the 17 years of being licensed. i dont ride recklessly, but never have i felt so worried about the state of the road before.
this rain is not helping. some of us got out of work early friday due to the high chance of a certain bridge being closed. between midday friday and midday saturday, the pot holes had increased hugely. plus we saw stupidity at its finest, friday there were 2 workers out, in the pouring rain, splashing water out of pot holes and another shoveling asphalt in. come saturday, it had either blown out, or had set into massive lumps almost as bad as what they were repairing. who knows what they will be like this morning.
