I’d like to know dates and a price before “registering”. Is that possible?

Seems like a great idea to me. Visited Tasmania several years ago and enjoyed every minute. There will be some challenging riding but not much traffic. I seem to remember the tourist slogan of “A place like no other,” this is totally true.
Hope the tour fills quickly.

Will be interested to see how this evolves over the next couple of trips – have a long held ambition to come and do 2024, but very much wanted the longer trip with outback and camping from either Perth or Darwin.

Might have to do Perth/Darwin to Adelaide solo and the. Join you for the start of the trip

I lived and worked in Tassie for half a year. The cycling is fantastic! the scenery tremendous. The Tassie’s however, have not learned to build a diagonal road to control gradient – rather like Scotland, but more of it. In Launceston there was a section of 32% (bricks – too steep to lay asphalt or concrete. And, a section that never dropped below 20% for a kilometer, and peaked at 26% – I never would’ve made it up except that there was a house with a long driveway that I could loop around to recover before continuing. There was a section of 17% just to get home from work to my house. I did some races where we zig-zagged to get up the climbs.
The kookaburras like cyclists and will fly along, chattering and laughing with you, land on a fencepost to continue the conversation, then fly on to continue the conversation a bit down the road.

Hi Tina, Yes, the hotels should make everyone much more comfortable after a day’s ride. Unfortunately, the Great Barrier Reef is quite a distance away from the new route. Please email [email protected] if you have any other questions.

I wanted to do the last tour that you posted, but I am not a huge camper. I am glad to hear it is all hotels. On this new tour do we get to see the Great Barrier reef?
Thanks.
Tina

Looks like a winner to me. It will be a lovely ride. I ‘circumnavigated’ Tassie in 1982 by bicycle. Great memories.
