Tasmania North East Loop Cycling

424 km, Loop Ride, Medium, Hilly, Sealed/Unsealed

Tasmania is a great place to cycle. This wonderful ride showcases the best that the North East has to offer -- beautiful beaches, temperate rainforests, panoramic views and historic country towns with some of the most stunning landscapes in the state. You can even test your skills on the Blue Derby Mountain Bike Park or take a leisurely ride in the bush along the North East Tasmanian Rail Trail. Take your time and enjoy this journey - you will be happily surprised. 

Our advice is avoid January and Easter when the state explodes with tourists and the roads are very busy. The North East of Tasmania is quite dry during winter and so this ride is accessible all year round. We think February to just before Easter and September through to early December are the best great times.

Start: Launceston     Access: Launceston Airport -- where there is a free, covered bike set up stand. All other towns along the route can be used for access by car.
