While marked on google maps as a connector from Grenada North to Horokiwi Rd (to then get to Belmont Regional Park) as an uphill (west to east) no horse iron, alloy, or otherwise should bother with this one unless you like pushing said horse up steep stretches and getting scratched by the occasional gorse sprouted along the trail. Other than that some pleasant sections & views.

Going east to west likely still many segments of walking your bike (downhill).

Try heading up Takapu Rd instead for direct access to Belmont Regional Park.

Per google maps conceivably there's a friendlier way down to Woollaston Way, perhaps via Jamaica Dr connecting to Havana Rise through a reserve access but if you can connect to Havana Rise then you can get to the Grenada Grinderton trail anyway.

Access Info

On the western end follow Caribbean Drive to the end and follow the sealed track (past a turn off for a paintball zone) until you get to a 4wd turn off to the left just 20 metres before the gated area with a small round water tower visible.

On the eastern end a suspiciously unused grassy track ends at the inside of the corner at 549 Horokiwi Rd.

Disclaimer

West-to-east this track invokes pushing your bike up steep sections

      If you enjoy bush bashing through gorse it's pretty good going East to West. Otherwise would make for a fun descent.
