Tassie trip this week

Post by zxrno1 »

Hi Guys
Four of us are heading to down to Tassie on Friday night for 4 days of riding, anyone have any favorite roads that they would like to share, we are heading clockwise from Devonport, through Scottsdale, St mary's, Elephant pass, Bicheno then down the east coast to Hobart, then Over to Derwent Bridge, Strahan, Roseberry, Cradle Mountain then back to Devonport to the boat home.

Cheers
Mark

Hey Mark,

If you would like a personal guided tour around the Hobart way, i would be more than happy to meet up and greet and meet!

If you get to Campbelltown you can go along the Lake Leake road which will take you via the east coast which has some very nice twistys and that will be a great scenic road.

Otherwise send me a PM and i will give you some contact details!

Thanks and hope to see yas soon :D

Add these together and you have just about got it right. The Midlands highway is not much of a bike track. If you can fit it in do the loop from Hobart down the channel and on to Huonville then on to Hobart. If you meet up with Nick he will show you the best rides. Just keep him away from Kangaroos :)

Hi Guys
Thank you very much for the offer we would have taken you up for a tour but unfortunatley two of the four have been asked to go back to work early so we have postponned the trip until hopefully March or April this year, lucky the Spirit let us postpone at short notice.
If you are in Victoria any time and want to have a look around let me know.
