Land OwnerHutt City Council
Freewheel is a fast flowing single track taking you from the Towai Trig to the Wainuiomata Hill Rd summit.
Freewheel traverses the western side of the hill (the Hutt side). It is fast flowing with an array of jumps, drops, switchbacks, shoots, banked turns, and lots of lovely gorse to catch you if come off and fall down the hill.
