Riding the Remutaka Rail Trail - Incline Trail MTB - 4K

We rode the stunning Remutaka Rail Trail - Incline Trail between Kaitoke and Cross Creek in Featherston north of Wellington.
A busy day out on the trail with lots of walkers, runners and riders. A classic New Zealand summer day for it too.
This is a super chill ride with a gentle climb up to the summit and then an easy roll down to Cross Creek. The trail features some historic bridges and tunnels and the new Siberia bridge is a welcome addition to the trail.
We rode one way our Specialized Turbo Levo eMTB's and caught a shuttle with Wayfinders back to our car. We probably could have ridden back, but the shuttle was excellent.

[@InspiredRides]

Stoked to hear that, do let us know what you think of the ride?

[@ardchoillenz]

No more crossing the stream on Siberia curve. How times have changed

[@InspiredRides]

Yeah I remember riding (hike-a-biking) up there from Cross Creek side on a steam bike back in the day

[@paulcritchley464]

They've taken out all the good stuff. made the track easy to ride a road bike
I suppose when they redo the incline railway it will be interesting
It is disappointing when no-one chats away, so I just turn the volume to 00
Cheers

Wow, I rode this track way back in 1992, when I was still a mountain biker. There wasn't a Siberia curve bridge back then.

[@InspiredRides]

I remember that the first time i rode it too. We rode from the Featherstone end back, was hard yakka

[@TheSonic10160]

It'll be interesting to see what it's like when the Remutaka Incline Railway gets rebuilt

[@InspiredRides]

Interesting, whats the plan there?

[@ethanwhitham2022]

Yeah 😊

[@thetamihana2561]

That will never happen buddy.

[@InspiredRides]

Such a great family friendly trail. Have you been here with kids? What did you think?

[@keacoq]

Not a word spoken....

[@InspiredRides]

It’s all about the trails

[@Adamcantdrift]

This is the Wellington side right

[@InspiredRides]

Hey Adam, this is from about halfway over the hill towards the Featherston side.

Rimutaka. Rimutaka. Rimutaka. Was it really that hard to read the map?

[@InspiredRides]

Hi Paul, it's actually Remutaka. If you Google it, you will see the history of the name. Cheers

[@hindesite]
