The loop shared pathway between Waipawa and Waipukurau (called the Tukituki Trail) has been made possible due to the construction of a new swing bridge at the northern end, thanks to the local Rotary Club, community and Council as part of the Hawkes Bay Trails. It was completed November 2017.

We started our 21.5km bicycle ride from the CHB Settlers Museum at Waipawa. As the pathways are fairly new, there is a lack of signage in some sections. Also some sections are on a gravel road, while other sections are a road track.

This is another one of the E-bike Social Riders Hawkes Bay on-road, super loop, hilly rides, so be sure to start with your battery fully charged. This eBike loop ride from the Taradale Rugby Club, Guppy Road, (with an option to start from Puketapu Pub) to Apley Road via Dartmoor Road and beyond has stunning views, great downhills and a well-deserved coffee/lunch stop. Majestic snow covered ranges to see in the winter. This will test your skills changing gears to take in the ups and downs. Very rewarding. A great ride to do in spring and autumn.

If you have not yet attempted riding uphill and learnt how to use the gears and power on your e.bike, then getting some practice in before doing this ride is strongly advised.
