Great news, but also pisses me off. Spent 10 years in Tassie, but back then all we had to do was poke roadkill with sticks and determine how related you were to the girl you were about to hook up with before you got another few Boags in and it didn't matter anyway.

Once this (100km), St. Helens (60+km & 40km new Blue Tier link), Derby/Weldborough (~80km), and Maydena (100km) are all done it will take at least two weeks to do a complete lap/map of Tassie. Better start saving up your leave, more good times ahead. :)

edit: not counting all the local trails!

I've been involved with this project the last 4 years and great to see it finally kick off.

Shit yeah Stredda!
Much gratitude for your efforts.
I'm sure some of the red tape & delays & beauracracy was frustrating at times, but it looks like it'll be bloody awesome real soon.
I live in Launnie & ride everywhere from Derby to Stubbs Rd. Can't wait to add this to the list...

Thanks mate, it took way longer than I ever anticipated (over 4 years now) but I will be happy when we start turning dirt.

They're making it difficult to pick an area in tassie to move to!

Who'd pick hobart, and who'd go Launceston area?

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
can you really pick a bad town when there only a 3hr drive away? "oh no, another cheeky overnighter at derby again, these hobart trails sure are getting boring.........."

That's fortunate, you will be right in the middle of the whole network. The main trail head will be at Goliath Park in Railton

Went down a few weeks ago and I couldn't fault anything central or southside of Hobart. Great food, easy going, it was quiet even compared to Geelong. Long term Im pretty set on getting down there. Can't see a reason not to honestly with pricing etc here on the mainland, although Hobart is starting to see decent growth now as people cotton on..
