DESCRIPTION

This route truly has it all, the perfect mix of road and dirt to push your GS to new heights, all while soaking in the natural beauty of Tasmania. Get ready for an unforgettable ride that combines the excitement, comfort, and camaraderie we love at GS Offroad.

​

TEMPERATURE

This time of year the days can throw just about anything at you, it could be mild with temperatures in the mid teens or it could be quite warm coming off the back of summer.. Like any adventure riding, prepare for cold and wet weather. Mornings, afternoons and nights could be cool so bring some warm clothing. A thermal layer is always good to have on hand in Tasmania.

​

ROUTE DIFFICULTY

This route will contain a large mix of terrain, highlighted by some great climbs and descents with tight switch backs. There will also be some of the best twisty bitumen riding that you can find. Off road riding experience will be very beneficial but isn't necessary. There will be numerous up and downhills . Terrain can vary in difficulty with road and weather conditions, keep in mind the crew is there to support you through any difficult terrain.

​

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING

We want this to be easy for you! All you need to do is turn up on your GS in your riding gear and have a WATERPROOF 55L soft roll bag with your personal luggage in it. We will carry the bag in the support vehicles for you. A small tank bag or tail bag is handy to carry gear liners, spare gloves etc. Below is a list of some items that can make the event more enjoyable.

​

  • Two pairs of gloves, regular and cold weather

  • Thermal clothing layer is great to add warmth without bulk when riding

  • Gore Tex or wind breaking layer to ride in, especially for cold mornings

  • Goggles

  • Camelbak for hydration and to carry snacks

  • Warm jacket for nights

  • Garmin Inreach, Spot Tracker or similar. While not required these are a great investment for remote riding, even amongst a supported group.

​

TYRES

Off road style tyres are required, we recommend Metzeler Karoo 4 tyres and this is what staff bikes will be fitted with. Other examples are Continental TKC 80, Pirelli Scorpion Rallye or similar. Please begin the event with new or as near new tyres as possible. We will carry limited spares but they are for fixing damaged tyres only, not for tyre replacement due to wear.
