Finally! We are heading back to Tasmania this March 2021 to ride the two best mountain biking locations this beautiful little island has to offer. We had to postpone all tours last year, so we are stoked to now be able to bring you the opportunity to experience six days of gravity-assisted riding in Tassie. 

This tour is open to all riders with intermerdiate and above riding skills. As a guide a minimum 6-12 months consistent riding experience is ideal. The tour is gravity-focussed and all runs are shuttled, so only an average fitness level its required. Basically if you like going downhill, there’s fun to be had.

Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails are located in north-east Tasmania in what was once a thriving tin mining town. Encompassing 125kms of purpose-built mountain bike trails with options to suit all skill levels, Blue Derby is now one of the world’s premier wilderness mountain bike networks. Instagram: @bluederby

Maydena Bike Park is a gravity-focused mountain bike park in Tasmania’s Derwent Valley. Designed and built by renowned trail company, Dirt Art, their world-class trails offer something for everyone, from families through to elite riders. Instagram: @maydenabikepark

We have an allocation for 8 riders on this tour so lock it in quick!
