I think they've routed a lot of the Auckland stuff to avoid traffic, sticking to dedicated cycle lanes where possible. I've got a rough plan for how long I want to ride but I'm yet to figure out where that'll put me at the end of each day and such.
A lot of riders were asking about traffic in the south island while some roads are still closed post-earthquake, it sounds like the traffic in a couple of places there has the potential to be really bad, but hopefully the main highway will re-open in time for Feb/March and it'll quiet down again...
Try and get through Auckland outside working hours, and you will want to ride with a bloody baseball bat to keep the aucky drivers away. Lived there 7 years and hated every road ride. Rest of NZ is great, esp. Rotorua . Enjoy
