Yes, we are off to the Apple Isle to hit Australia’s MTB Mecca! Derby Tasmania mountain biking is widely regarded as the best in Australia and this is, without doubt, one of the best epic bike tours we’ve ever put together. We have a full week of riding planned, with shuttles provided on most days so we can make the most of the amazing riding options.

Experience a totally amazing and different MTB trip as we focus on some of the best epic riding you can do in the Southern Hemisphere! Working with local shuttle and guiding companies in and around Derby we will spend 6 days exploring the best Tasmania MTB trails.

What to Expect on this Epic Tasmania MTB Tour

Three days riding shuttles around Derby, one day riding Blue Tier and Atlas, one day riding down to St. Helen’s from the Blue Tier on the amazing Bay of Fires trail, and a final day checking out the new trails around St. Helen’s. This is a brilliant week’s riding to rival anything else on our range of Cycling Holidays in South Australia! If you’re looking for something else on mainland Australia, check out our Flinders Ranges Mountain Biking Trip and get in touch if you have any questions for us.

Check out some of the trails we will ride, from our brief trip in March ’20!

The Trip

1

Ride the amazing trails around Derby and St. Helen's!

https://j48eucdkpx-flywheel.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_20200317_114502-1-600x258.jpg

Join us on an epic adventure. We will be based in Derby, the new MTB mecca of Australia. Come and see what all the hype is about!

The riding around Derby is absolutely amazing. On most days at Derby we will utilise private shuttles to Black Stump, which allows us to then explore the full area whilst avoiding some of the worst climbing. There is riding for all levels, and the group is able to split up a bit if required. The trails are well signed, so you can decide exactly how hard you want to hit the trails!

On our longer days from Blue Tier, we will ride as more of a group. These trails are generally intermediate wilderness trails, with amazing scenery along the way. The highlight is the Bay of Fires trail, which starts from Blue Tier with a roughly 12km epic flowing descent through ferns, and finishes 44km later on the coast at Swimcart Beach, just along the coast from St. Helen's.

We will also have a days of riding in and around St Helen's on the new trails there.

A strong level of fitness and mountain bike experience is strongly recommended. Accommodation will be either comfortable motel accommodation or a comfortable holiday home, with twin share rooms, subject to exact numbers.

With the trip limited to 10 people, you will get a personalised service and small group experience, both on and off the mountain, getting the chance to ride with and get to know other like-minded Aussie riders

We had a great time doing the Lofty Descents tour with Ian. A really interesting way to see parts of Adelaide you wouldn't normally get to see.
