We loved it!
Peter:NZ0 Tazmania in May 2025 has to be the highlight of my 20 years of mountain biking. To ride all day mostly downhill on awesome and changing flowing trails was unbelievable. Great organisation, scenery, e-bikes, food, accommodation and company. The ultimate in single track riding.
Leonie:TasMania with Gazmania! This mountainbiking trip was beyond spectacular for its riding - huge variety on world class trails with accommodation and food always rewarding and appropriate (pub meals for lunch, gorgeous meals at Blue Derby Pods for dinner) Hire bikes as good as any available, organisation inpeccable. Would go again in a heartbeat.
Here are the highlights:
DAY 1: is travel and we will get to our Pods Accommodation in Derby in the evening.
DAY 2: After a delicious breakfast we have a full day of exploring the mad trails in the Derby network, with lunch in the middle of the day and more trail action in the afternoon.
DAY 3: Another awesome Pods breakfast then we are on the road to George Town - on the trails by 1030. After a lap of this amazing location we will enjoy an alfresco lunch by the Kanamaluka / River Tamar.
Back in Derby we will ride over to the floating sauna to freshen ourselves up for another gourmet Tasmanian dinner at Blue Derby Pods Ride.
DAY 4 : Can't wait for this one! Another Pods breakfast followed by a shuttle to the top of the Blue Tier - we wil drop the incredible first 13 ks of the Bay of Fires trail, then shuttle back to the top for the Blue Tier trail itself, 18 ks of sinuous flow, arriving at an alfresco riverside lunch. Another quick shuttle gets us to the top of Atlas, a brilliant trail that drops us back to a Pods gourmet dinner.
DAY 5 : A big day of travel to the wild west coast, pausing for a short walk at the World Heritage Cradle Mountain National Park. We will arrive at day's end in Strahan Village.
DAY 6 : Transfer to the historic mining town of Zeehan for a shuttled ride from the top of the Silver City Trails. We will take in an alfresco lunch in Zeehan then do some sightseeing or more riding, up to you!
DAY 7 : We will ride the huge expanse of Mount Owen, dropping from its 1100m heights to lunch in Queenstown before our drive to Hobart.
DAY 8 : Hobart to home.
It's not a guided tour...
This adventure will appeal to proficient mountain bikers, comfortable with riding on advanced skill level trails.
The tour will be accompanied by Gaz Sullivan, a well-travelled and very experienced bike rider, and he has a ride menu planned out for himself that he can't wait to attack. He is hoping you will come along on those rides, but if you would rather do some other ride, that is totally fine. There are trails from simple to hair-raising, and you are welcome to join the group rides or do your own thing - that is the beauty of this expedition.
