Mountain Bike Trails in Kapiti Coast

257 Bush Track

Heading in from 257, 257Bush starts off fairly tame, then come the ruts, roots and bogs. All can be navigated around by riding or walking. If you are after an adventure then this could be it.

Airport southside

An easy connection to the Wharemauku from Tahi Street.

Asgard

So you like to jump BUUUUUUUUT committing to 8m+ gaps just isn't quite your cup of tea yet? Well welcome to Asgard, playground of the gods. Roll them or send them it doesn't matter, Asgard's 18 features will give you a chance to take things to the next level without having to risk eternal damnation.

Boardwalk

Nice wide trails letting you get some pace on and practice railing those corners. But don’t get too comfortable because we’ve thrown in some good tech to keep things interesting, like the steep rocky waterfall sitting at the end of that nice smooth wooden boardwalk. This trail is definitely a rite of passage before you move on to Dirt Farms advanced trails.

Boobies/Wayne's samething

This trail is very popular with motocross riders and as such is publicly acknowledged as a route (see http://arac.org.nz/assets/Downloads/akatarawa-tracks/GW-Akatarawa-Motorised-Map.pdf). As such the trail is extremely rutted, and some of the ruts will swallow your bike. The surface in the upper parts is clay and slippery, the lower is firmer and not so rutted. But towards the end is a forest of toetoe with a tendency to cut anything exposed.

Borderline

Not for the faint hearted Borderline is steep, technical and challenging. For those that like a good adventure then prepare yourself for a exhilarating trip down through the natives and as far off the beaten track as Dirt Farm allows. Be warned though this trail requires you to earn your turns with an uphill push out of the beautiful gully it ends in.

Bright Ridge Skyline Track

This Track starts from Anlaby Road and travels along the ridge line to come out at Valley Road, However it's in two sections the first running from the Anlaby Road south for about 1km to Nikau Palm Road. Then starts up again on the other side and goes for about 1.6ks to come thru a gate at the top off a Gravel driveway which leads down to Valley Rd. The first section is made up of mainly grass track(mowed) and gravel/grass vehicle track. The second section is climbing Gravel vehicle track, which travels down a steep farm track terminating near Valley Road. Please don't travel along the upper farm track towards the large house, as this is private property.

Gundys Track

Gundys Track Climbing up Ringawhati and part way up to Tangata Maunga to a small grass clearing/fork in the track just past Gundys Hut (Waitohu Valley lodge).An awesome hill climb with a bit of rough and clean sections along the way. Closer to the top past the boiler it turns up the heat with some gnarly rock gardens to test your skills and ya bike. Access through to this track runs through private farm land which the farmer kindly asks users to respect no access from the 1st of September though till Labour weekend in October due to lambing. Please respect this as and don't stuff it up for everyone else.

Hydro Valley Road

A 4x4 track used by most recreational users of Akatarawa Forest. You will see a few trail and quad bikes and the odd 4x4 vehicle. Hydro is a reasonably steep climb and it carries on a long way. The top of Hydro is a junction with Titi and Campbell Mill Rd in Whareroa Farm.
