Thanks to the Sven, Richard, Dave and everyone else for making it such an enjoyable and memorable weekend.

Tasmania

Since Blue Derby held an EWS round it came to my attention. Reports were flowing in from around the world of how incredible Blue Derby was so I had to see it for myself. The town of Derby is a 1.5 hours drive east of Launceston (closest town with an airport with flights from mainland Australia).

Thankfully long time friend, Brian came along for the journey to explore the mountain biking of Tasmania with me.

I would recommend staying in Airbnb at Derby. Take your own food to cook and beers to drink because Derby is tiny with only one restaurant that is open occasionally.
