The New Zealand Cycle Trail has made its way to the Rangitikei/Manawatu Region with an on-road trail from Mangaweka to Palmerston North City. Named the Manawatu Cycleway on The Country Road, this 126km ride takes you through the heart of rural Manawatu into the urban centre of Palmerston North City.
Traveling north to south, start in Mangaweka at the Hub Café, under the DC 3 aeroplane. Here you can stock up on supplies, fuel up on coffee and chat to the friendly locals to find out the best-hidden spots to see along your journey. 700 metres up the road, you will find Ruahine Road. Ride past the Mangaweka Campground and over the bridge. Expect to be greeted with incredible views of soaring white papa (mudstone) cliffs and magnificent cobbled river terraces.
Opening event details for the Taihape to Fern hill trail will be availible soon.
