3. North & Central 8hr Ride
While the Midlands hwy from launceston to Oatlands is rather boring your fun will start when you turn off to Bothwell and ride up over the central highlands to the lakes.. I would stop for a beer at Great Lakes Pub before heading down towards Poatina. Now that IS A FUN RIDE...
you can keep to a lot of back roads that are still very good to ride and get nearly all the way back to the boat before looping back to Launceston..
some stops, fuel, food will easily make this a 8 hour ride.
Another option is to reverse ride 3 and after Bothwell turn right instead of left and you will be 3/4 of the way to Hobart...
if you did say 1. & 2. over 2 days, had day to recover then 3. that would put you in Hobart on day 4 of your tour.. do same type of thing in Hobart then end up on west coast (GOOFTROOP might be able to help with where good to stay at) maybe 1 night on coast then finish up with a night or 2 at Burnie to tour the north west & north central of Tassie...
There is a nice ride posted on Tassie Tour 2014 for Day 1 that covers some nice roads in north central...
don't forget to ride up north west to Stanely and beyond
You should see Port Arthur if never done before, and ride as far south when in Hobart through the Huon Valley and see about the Strathgordon ride.. there are posts of the last one from last summer somewhere on here LOL
