Tassie Riding in Summer

[mozzie26]

Any idea of dates???!

Hi Tony, You still on for a ride on the 11th or 12th Jan or both what ever suits you?
I will be doing the west cost on the 8th/9th Jan.
I am planning to leave the Sunshine Coast on the 2nd of Jan and give myself 3 days to get down to Melbourne(around 630km per day). Have a rest in Melbourne on the 5th Jan and get the boat over to Tas on the 6th Jan.
Will be leaving Tas on the evening 16th Jan over night to Melbourne. Plan on going for a ride along the Great Ocean Road on Friday the 17 of Jan if any mexicans want to join me.

Hi Guys. in regards to west coast rides
the council/gov a doing road works between Tullah and Cradle mountain turn off so lots of delays at times..one bad section about 5km out of Tullah where they have widened road is fine gravel and slush for about 3/4km,not good in a car let alone a bike..knowing the way they work it probably won't be finished when you come thru in Jan and possibly Feb..will let you know what it's like around newyear..
Swansea to Queenstown has some nice roads with plenty of corners
Am unsure if I can make Jan ride but planning on Feb
cheers Brookesy

Tony we will stay over the north east somewhere for the night then move on to the west
hopefully all the road works will be well and truly done by the time we get over there
and if you can hook up with us in feb that would be great brookesy

thanks wayne

That's the plan Wayne. Should be back on my feet in couple of days and doing physio so I can ride in Feb,if not sooner.
Already working on my Busa, Radguards fitted,R1 throttle,Galfer brake lines and 1" bar riser plate fitted and old nose cone back on.just have to fit rest of fairings and rearsets and learn to walk on 2 feet again
will let you guys know what roads a like at new year.
cheers Brookesy

Just to give u guys an idea... On Thursday it will be about 29 up north which is equal to mid-high 30s on mainland but then down to 19 on Monday and u better have thermals and wet wether gear if you are going above 700 metres...

The pleasure of summer in Tasmania. Hahahahahaaaaaa

[wayneb60]

baz going down on the 14th with wardy & heading home on the 19th i,ve got 3 others coming with me
brookesy hope all your physio goes will & we catch up with you & tony
never leave home with out my wets no matter what the weather man saids

Just stuck a post up in the other thread.

Saying - why not start Batfink's loop ride on the Sat. as soon as we hop off the boat. Volvi can catch us up on the Sunday when he arrives as long as we keep him informed of where we'll be. That makes the ride over the weekend so more Tassie members will be able to participate. And gives us an extra day to go sight seeing after over west and around the rest of God's country.

[Batfink]

Don;t forget that there are some nice roads to ride all over the area on Saturday if you want to wait for Volvi...

You guys n gals work it out and we will fit in as we can

[GOOFTROOP]

Mozzie26..If I can get my bike boots on without too much pain I should be able to catch up with you and Batty on 11th/12th ride. Physio on 8th/9th so won't make west coast ride Bugga
Will let you know what road works a like next week
cheers Brookesy

Thanks for the heads upon the road works.

Been looking at the map of Tassie, after doing the West Coast & East Coast I am thinking of going to Strathgordon via Poatina on the 13 or 14th of Jan.

    Your in for a real treat there Mozzie, the Strathgordon run is fantastic! Make sure you do the B34 Lake Leake Highway. Around 56kms of Awesomeness! Done Tassie many times now and can't wait to do it again someday!
