Weaving in the shade of the willow trees along the Tukituki Trail in Central Hawke's Bay, this grade 2 track is a great introduction to mountain biking. Take the kids and have a go at each obstacle at your own pace or speed through and enjoy the challenge of this well maintained track. Though it is mostly flat the track has been engineered to offer a range of obstacles from sharp banked turns, tight twists, a few small bridges and a jump or two for the more experienced mountain biker.
For some even greater thrills, Gum Tree Mountain Bike Park - located at the end of Mt Herbert Road, Waipukurau - has a number of tracks, ranging in difficulty and is a great day out for the whole family.
