Alexandra Airport Trail

An ideal ride as an introduction to single track, or a good workout over several laps for the competitive cross country rider.

From Alexandra follow the Rail Trail or Dunstan Road for about 4km to Coates Road. Turn right and go 650m to find car parking and the start of the trail at the top of the hill on your left. The trail is just over 9km and loops the entire airport run-way.

Blue markers show you the way, the trail can be ridden in either direction; clockwise is recommended. There are long gentle climbs with a couple of slightly harder descents. An ideal ride as an introduction to single track, or a good workout over several laps for the competitive cross country rider.

There are great views over the Alexandra basin, and much is alongside a water race; good for cooling off on a hot day.
