Riding Tumeke - Rangituhi Trail Park, Porirua NZ
If you ask anyone about fast flowing tracks in Wellington, I'm sure everyone will give a different response but three tracks keep popping up in most conversations: Peak Flow @ Makara, Electric Avenue @ Belmont and this one, Tumeke @ Rangituhi Trail Park.
For any other bike, this would be heaven for speedsters and jumpers as Tumeke offers a lot of both. However, with my fat bike fully laden with Rider and electric kit, it is basically an anchor on two wheels. Still I was interested to see if I could navigate the track compensating weight for speed as the electric motor has high torque which is great for a keeping a steady pace.
As it turns out, I was ground bound for most of the ride despite the track wanting to get me airborne on several occasions. However I totally enjoyed Tumeke and can see why it gets high praise. I hope you enjoy this ride with me!
This is my first trail ride with my new Luna Cycles BBSHD 1500w electric motor kit installed.

Fat bike ride through Spicer Link - Rangituhi Trail Park, Porirua NZ -
Spent a fantastic day at Rangituhi Trail Park in Porirua riding the Spicer Link trail from Raiha Street to Spicer Botanical Park on Broken Hill.
Spicer Link is a shared-use track meaning its open to walker and bikers alike and forms a loop between Spicer Botanical Park and Camp Elsdon via Raiha Street.
First run with the new Feiyu Tech WG gimbal but still learning as I go. Hope you enjoy my first video!

Trail 10 @ Rangituhi Trail Park 4k
A brand new trail @ Rangituhi Trail Park on Colonial Knob Porirua. Trail is known as 'Stunner' tho sign posted as Trail 10.Very well named,the view from the start of the trail is simply stunning. The trail is classed as a green trail tho experienced riders will still really enjoy this trail carrying a higher speed. Being so new there are still some sections that are a little soft and or dusty but they will iron out and this trail will be mega. Start on this then on to Chimney Sweep-Rough Justice-Upper Tumeke across to Blaster for a wicked top to bottom ride.....awesome.
Tumeke @ Rangituhi Trail Park 4K
This is a super fun flowing trail running from what is now the mid point of the trail park down to Riaha St and the beginning of Spicer Link trail. There is a easy and slightly harder entry point to the trail.The upper entry section has a couple of sharp downwards corners and the lower entry is a little more straight forward. 2/3's of the way down the trail splits in to 2 with the left taking you further down Raiha St and the right leads you closer to Spicer Link.

Nice fast flowing track, and a gentle climb to get there.
Well worth it, can be done 3-4 times with no problems.

The name of the trail says it all,this trail is a absolute Blaster.Awesome flow with berms and tables all the way down.
