I like to seize the opportunity to get out riding on quiet country roads. The 53 kms Crownthorpe loop is one of my favourite e-bike rides in Hawkes Bay. The countryside is undulating and scenic. Doing this loop clockwise, the long straight stretch along Matapiro Road is dispensed with in the first half of the ride. There is an option to visit the historic Crownthorpe Church by continuing along Matapiro Road, then coming back to turn into Crownthorpe Road.
Distance approx. 53 kms
The Hawkes Bay Trail alongside the Tutaekuri River on both sides, to and from Puketapu is a popular route. This ride can be extended to approx. 50 kms, starting from the carpark beside the Boat Ramp Eatery in Ahuriri, and taking in the Water Ride from Watchman Road to Park Island, suburban streets and the Iways. This makes a diverse and satisfying e-bike ride.
Distance 50kms
The Waitangi Regional Park to Lappuccino Cafe in Hastings ebike ride is one of our shorter loops at 35 kms. The first part of route begins on the Hawkes Bay Trails along the stop bank of the Ngaruroro River. From this trail it is easy to see why the Plains are so fertile.
