Ben Lomond Descent TourThis tour is mostly downhill (mostly that is!) so hold on and enjoy the ride. This ride is one of the ultimate mountain bike descents possible in Tasmania with a total drop of 1050 vertical metres (3444 feet). Starting at the Ben Lomond Ski Village this awesome trip takes you down one of the most spectacular roads in Tasmania, Jacobs Ladder. Our local guides will take you through the eucalypt forests along some old four-wheel-drive tracks and onto one of the best single-track descents in northern Tasmania, part of the annual Ben Lomond Descent multi-sport race. You will then continue on fire trails and other single tracks to the finishing point on Blessington Road. North Esk River TourThe North Esk River Tour is the ideal way to soak up Launceston's waterfront atmosphere on a bike. The majority of the circuit follows the meandering banks of the North Esk and Tamar Rivers. With no real climbing you can take it fairly easy and enjoy the scenery. Tracing the curves of the river it is sometimes easy to forget you are still in the heart of the city. The circuit encompasses the North Esk River cycle way, Heritage Forest reserve, Seaport, Tamar River cycle way and the Riverside Tailrace park. Trevallyn Reserve TourThis tour allows you to explore some of Launceston's most popular tracks. If you only have a few hours, this trip is for you. The Trevallyn Recreation Area borders the majestic Cataract Gorge and has everything from easy-cruising fire trails to exciting single-track sections. On this trip, ride via the West Tamar River trail and follow a gradual climb up to the edge of the Trevallyn Reserve. You can then explore the great variety of fire trails in this popular mountain bike area. The group will have earned a breather so before returning, you will be able to dismount and walk your bike back through what is arguably Launceston's best natural treasure, the Cataract Gorge. | |
