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.

After exiting the trail, there is a windy route through Twyford before reaching the refreshment stop in Omahu Road. The return loop takes in the beautiful oak tree lined Ormond Road, returns us to the Ngaruroro River trail, and then an exit at Pakowhai Regional Park takes us to Whakatu, then back alongside the delightful (too) short section of the Clive River.
