Remutaka Cycle Trail is listed as a park in Kingsley Heights, Upper Hutt, with a Google rating of 4.5.
A good cycle trail has a firm, well-drained surface, clear signs and distances, and sections that suit different abilities, so riders can choose a short out-and-back or a longer day. The Remutaka Cycle Trail is a well-known Wairarapa and Wellington route, and trails like it are shared with walkers, so regulars ring a bell or call out when passing and keep left. Wellington wind and weather can change quickly, so a helmet, a spare tube, water, a windproof layer and a charged phone are sensible. Check the forecast and any track notices before setting out, allow more time than you expect, and tell someone your plans. Take your rubbish home.
For riders in Kingsley Heights and around Upper Hutt, Remutaka Cycle Trail is a well-rated route worth planning a day around.
