One of New Zealand's 22 great rides, the Remutaka Cycle Trail starts on the edge of Wellington Harbour. This diverse trail winds up the leafy Hutt Valley before climbing gently over the forested Remutaka Ranges into the Wairarapa, then skirting around the rugged coast back towards the capital. There's something for everyone from short outings to the full multi day ride which takes 2 or 3 days.
