Aimed at experienced riders visiting the state but needing to be shown where the tracks go, this is one of our more advanced rides, you will need to have sound MTB skills to tackle this as the terrain is very rough and steep in places. However, come prepared for an extremely rewarding adventure.
The Tasmanian Trail traverses the length of the state and enables cyclists to tour the state away from the main roads, hence avoiding encounters with traffic. This section of the trail is usually bypassed by riders heading south as it is too steep to ride up. This means it is perfect to ride down as long as you have experience over rough washed out trails.
Starting at the top of Poatina Hill, a favourite amongst the roadies as a hill climbing test piece, we join the original route to the lakes and begin descending straight away. If you have bought your own bike to the state and it has dual suspension this would be of benefit on this ride. Otherwise our hardtails are equipped with excellent brakes to keep things under control. The trail makes its way down through the alpine eucalypt forests past some huge sandstone cliffs. Further down the surface improves and you can start to wind the speed up on awesome flowing sections with a few washouts to keep the attention up.
