Royal Albany Mountain Bike Trails
To many of you, the knowledge that there are 14 km of fully legal, tough, twisty singletrack on the North Shore will be a bit of a surprise! The trails are progressing at Albany with new tracks being formed and Massey University fully supporting the project but they do need a bit of input to get them just right and one guy has been building these for 5 years! It is about time he had a bit of help!! They’re organsing working bees on the second Sunday of each month.
How to Get There
Head North on SH1, exit at Greville Road, straight ahead at the round about, to the Albany Expressway. Turn left onto Bush Road, then left onto Bushlands Park Drive. Best to park here. Entry to the trails is on Bush Road, opposite Bushlands Park Drive, look for the gate to the left. Follow the 4wd trails, after a few 100m’s look out for the trails on the right.
