The Māori That Bikes

One of the best places in Wellington to go and ride. Has evolved and developed over time progressively and is very popular with the local scene. There is a new carpark area with toiliet and shower block (at the time of this review it isn't known if the showers are fully functioning). A myraid of graded trails from G2 - G6, but predominantly are G3 - G4. Check out trail forks for exact details. Currently no deddicated shuttle service so its a hearty climb from the bottom making your way up to the summit (approx 20 - 40mins depeding on fitness and choice of direction), albeit not as agressive in gradient too climb as such it serves well for hill / interval training. Terrain is mostly rock based (no clay / sand or loam like Rotorua) mixed with tree roots and hard pack. It can get incredibly windy at the summit so dress for the weather however its been said that Makara runs well in the wet as well. Overall it is an excellent MTB park and worth a repeat visit or connecting visit with the other Bike areas in the region.

Awesome tracks and facilities. Would only comment that easy tracks still assume a certain level of bike experience so not ideal for total beginners
