Trail Description: A nice flowing grade 2 that you can pump your way through without a pedal stroke. This fun link track leads you to the start of KARUWHA, RARURARU, HE WHAKAPUTANGA 1835 and AOTEAROA.

Trail name origin: Te Pito (Teh – Pee – toh)

Whilst in the womb, our source of life is via the umbilical cord connecting our pito or naval region to our mother. Severing that physical line at birth provides independence for both mother and child, but this does not mean to say we are entirely separated, as there will always be a lifelong emotional attachment to our mother that will continue to grow energetically within TE PITO.
