Single Track MTB trails/weekend fun
Anyone have some favs? Or might want to do a group ride on the weekends? I've been hitting some stuff around Kailua, but I know there MUST be good trails elsewhere.

Chad, are the downhill runs actual downhill courses or are they something I can do with a hardtail and not have everyone waiting at the bottom?
I'm going to check out Royal Summit on sat!

There are multiple trails down the hill. They all can be done on a hardtail, but some may be a little rough. There are a couple that can be easily don on a hardtail.
My friend Glen rides down on his single speed dirt jumper.
Pads and a full-face helmet are a good idea though.
You can take your time coming down. We sit for like 20 minutes between runs...cat calling the ladies. haha

I actually don't know exactly where it is, but I know the area.
Kaahele St
Aiea Hawaii 96701
United States
Yelp.com trail review + map
Royal Summit Bike Trail - Aiea, HI
I'm going to just drive up the road until I spot a bunch of bike racks and hikers, it's worked multiple times before trying to find trailheads so I'm starting there. If your down I'm going to try and ride for a couple hours and head out before the 1pm sun starts eating me.

Just drive up to the very top until you can't go any further. Then you will see a fenced off jeep road. Be nice to the residents there. It isn't exactly legal. DLNR has kick us out before, so dont make a big scene or be an dong at the trailhead.
