With this blog post I wanted to show more of behind the scenes with what’s involved in a mountain biking holiday.

I gathered two mates — Rhys and Damo — we decided to head south to Tasmania and find cooler weather from our home town of Brisbane.

Core elements for a successful trip.

Great friends.

Great food.

Great beer.

Great trails.

We flew into Hobart and proceeded to take the scenic route up the East Coast past Coles Bay, Bicheno, St Helens before reaching our Destination of Derby.
