Name Our New Trails
We’ve scouted beautiful new singletrack, which will create the ‘wow factor’ on Rangituhi-Colonial Knob. Now we just need your creative mind to help us make sure the names do the new trails justice.
An easy and intermediate up hill trail from Camp Elsdon to the Lookout has been named Utiwai, But we need names - three in all - for the descent.

Top section of intermediate descent (1)
Kick off at the lookout knoll - 340m above sea level. Enjoy the spectacular panoramic views before quickly descending into lush native forest. Flow past stunning trees and vegetation, breathe in fresh air smells and hear the birds chirping that will sharpen all of your senses. The terrain is very easy rolling downhill with a few switchbacks, roots and rocks to keep you honest. After a full on 1450m, you’ll pop out at the bottom of Chimney Sweep.
Middle section descent (2)
From the bottom of Chimney Sweep, dive straight back into the bush, this time through younger regenerating native forest. At one point you will briefly pop out into the open with incredible vistas of the harbour and rail around a massive breathtaking wallride over which will feel like the edge of the Earth! After a small fast open section through a few gum trees, it will be into pine forest for the last 500m, finishing off in a bermy wonderland.
Final section of the descent (3)
You are now into the final 400m, blast through pine forest, rocketing around berms and flying over a lot of great features - think rollers, tables,wallrides and possibly small drops. At the bottom you will be on fire, ready to session it again, perhaps on a trail you have named.
T&Cs
The Mana Cycle Group exec will vote on the three best names which will be put forward to Porirua City Council and Ngati Toa to approve.
Remember this is a public and family park :)
Give us your best! Winners each receive a 2017 MCG tee, a guaranteed seat on the first shuttle of the whole descent and of course, a section of trail named by you!
