Tour Itinerary

Sunday 13 March - Arrival day, ride Hobart

Arrival day, everything starts in Hobart. For those flying in, we will collect you from Hobart Airport and drop you at your accommodation. If you're bringing your own bike, you'll have time to put it together. If you're hiring a bike, we'll get this organised for you. If there's time for a local ride, let's ride! In the evening, the group will head out for a bite to eat. Your accommodation will be centrally located in the city.

Monday 14 March - Maydena Bike Park

7.30 am We jump in the minibus and head to Maydena Bike Park for an amazing day of gravity trails.

By 10 am you'll be at the summit looking west over one of the most stunning vistas in the state; mountains as far as the eye can see. Then, it's downhill all the way!

After a full day on the trails, we'll have Maydena-style pizzas and then we head off to Derby.

It's a long drive to Derby, plenty of time for a rest after a big day on the bike. It'll be a late arrival at the mountain bike mecca, but it'll be worth it; in the morning everyone wakes up in Derby!
