Biking in Launceston (including Mountain biking)

Biking in Launceston (including Mountain biking)

Biking in Launceston is a part of the biking tour of the craggy terrain of entire Tasmania. These biking tours bind beaches and mountains by a precariously thin trail of excitement. Tours are planned in a manner that allows comfortable stay at night in various roadside lodges.

Tasmania is most suited for adventure biking because of the sheer variety in its landscape; beautiful beaches are followed by lofty mountains, the length punctuated with a generous presence of many other places of interest.

Pedal Tours is one of the companies which organize biking tours around Tasmania. These tours are packaged to be an 8 to16 day tour. Due to some rough terrains the tour involves a certain degree of risk, but this has only added to the challenge of the biking tour.

The months favorable for biking in Launceston are November, January and February. An 8 day biking tour by Launceston proceeds in the following manner-

Day 1- The biking tour in Tasmania usually begins from Hobart- propitious start to a somewhat perilous journey. This attractive city has some elegant Georgian Buildings and has the scenic Derwent River flowing through it.

Day 2- The destination reached is Orford. The bike ride is interrupted with a boat ride to Maria Island. A day may be wisely spent watching the diverseness of birds and animals in the island.

Day 3 and 4- The two days take the bike riders on a ferry ride to Freycinet Peninsula. The accommodation of the riders is arranged at Freycinet Lodge which in itself is an experience.

Day 5- On the fifth day of their tour, the adventure seeking riders reach St.Helens, which has plenty to offer in terms of scenic beauty but the plain road has little in a way of adventure. An uneventful ride may be expected.

Day 6- Scottsdale is reached. The road is lined with an amazing array of eucalyptus and giant ferns. The riders spend a comfortable night at B and B.

Day 7 and 8- The tour reaches conclusion in the Tamar Valley in Launceston. The vineyards of the Valley are reputed to be really beautiful.
