Waipio Valley and Muliwai Trail

After crossing the river we are treated to the "Z trail". It is only about a 30+ percent grade.
Strictly hike a bike!

At the top there is actually a pretty good trail. Still have to walk a few sections but all in all over 90% rideable.

Some really good sections actually!

We did not have the time or energy to go down into Waimanu Valley but sure was beautiful.

We might not have been able to ride up it, but on the way down........ we actually could not ride it all either!

Check out the road on the otherside of the valley. Yikes we still have to ride up that to get back to the truck!

A little beach riding before the river crossing.

Almost at the top!

One Fine Winter Day

This Sunday we did a little winter riding....Island Style!!!
Departed from Waimea around noon.
Rode up through the pastures on into the forest.

Climb up to the marshy plateau...

Road gives way to single track...

Single Track follows irrigation canal....

Where's the trail?

How deep is that stream?

Made It!!

After riding back out you are treated with great descent back to town.
