Mountain Biking Rimutaka Rail Trail

***   Add a review
#2 of 40 mountain bike trails in New Zealand
#6,930 in the world

A relatively gentle climb up an old rail line (now graveled) through a beautiful valley with the high point being the pitch-black tunnels you go through. (Take a torch/head lamp).

Its not going to technically challenge anyone but its an enjoyable ride.
