You asked for hills" - Ask any road cyclist in Auckland and they'll know the Butter Chicken ride up in the Waitakere hills. This is our version taking in a few extra climbs. The great thing with this ride and all rides up in the Waitakeres is that it's really a series of loops so at any time you can cut things short and head for home if the legs aren't feeling it. This ride really isn't for the faint hearted but if you are feeling strong you'll be rewarded with quiet roads, native bush and great views.
