Summary:
This is a must trail when vacationing in Oahu. Not much fun when wet but I did love this one even in the rain. I would love to redo it when it's dry. If possible find someone to go with, otherwise you could get lost. Check out this trail, you won't regret. Mostly XC, not very technical and very enjoyable.

Recommended Route:

Summary:
Today was was the first time riding in this area. I rode across the freeway and about 1/8 mi. down the road on the left, squeezed through a broken fence & took a semi-paved (gravel) trail uphill. Nearing the top, the gravel trail turned into a nice dirt single-track running parallel with the H-2 freeway. I just followed the orange ribbon marked trail & ended up right next to the Memorial park. I continued on and ended up about 1/8 mi. away from my starting point. I don't think this trail is part of the "Mililani Trails" that is being reviewed, but I had fun there, and would ride again.

Recommended Route:
Follow the orange ribbons :) .

Summary:
Many-many different options. You could do a 1 hour loop, or do a bunch of different loops together for an all day epic ride. Bring water and food, and don't go after a rain. If you have an old-school elevated chainstay bike with forks that have tons of clearence (bontrangers) then you might consider Mililani after (and during) the rains. It is an illegal trail so ride at your own risk. If you get hurt, don't blame the landowners or they'll start kicking people out more often.

Recommended Route:
This is one of the best places to go on a group ride.

Summary:
Awesome network, not too technical for a beginner or novice, but still challenging, fun, and a great workout; an endless playground. Easy to get lost but you figure it out after about 10 rides. Uphills are manageable w/ a few steep "throw your bike up on your shoulder sections". Nice downhill that you can blaze down or play it conservative. Unlike trails like Aiea Loop there are few portions where if yu wipe out you may fall hundreds of feet. The Whoop-dee section is an awesome reward for getting to the top. Not too many roots, but a lot of crevices in the middle of some trails to make the high speed descents interesting but manageable. These are the best trails on island EXCEPT in the Winter. The "red clay-like mud" turns your bike into a sled rather a two wheeled vehicle so be prepared to walk. Mango Loop on the south side is becoming overgrown w/ elephant grass although not seeing where you're going can be fun. Recommend long sleeve jersey and glasses are a must. Be prepare to get a few scratches on your face.
MTBikers outnumber hunters so its pretty safe even if you're solo.

Recommended Route:
Access thru paintball area go to 2nd "jeep road" and make a left to do Mango Loop CW or take a right past the gate take a left on the road and go a bit and access Mango Loop CCW (I prefer CCW) on the right at the two Mongo Mango trees.

No one has mentioned these trails in anything I've seen about MTBing on Oahu: Schofield Barracks East Range (across from Wheeler Airfield gate). Don't worry no shooting here just an open access training area. No technical portions just military jeep road w/ a lot of long shallow HOT climbs to get you in shape. Logged 30 miles one ride without repeating a trail. Runs between Wahiawa and Mililani Mauka and gets you into the Koolous.
