Some footage of the Blue Tier ride at Blue Derby, Tasmania. The local council has spent $3M on trails and the region is now seeing tourism of $30M per year.

Already 85km of trails and more than double that planned. Tasmania is down under Australia! Beyond the Mainland and Derby is in its North East corner.

Oh, really? You consider yourself one of us ;)

I am in a little place called Canberra, otherwise known as the Bush Capital. It is in a little territory called the Australian Capital Territory, stuck in the middle of New South Wales.

My reference was for people who don't know where Tasmania is. Im from the Blue Mountains. Great trails in ACT so you are in a good place for MTB as well.

Love the Blue Mountains. My grandfather was post master in Mt Victoria for many years and my uncle had a place in Wenny Falls.

Sorry if I sounded a bit facetious. You know how us mainlanders are, always taking the piss, and it was too good an opportunity to pass up on.

I am not so much into biking, my lack of co-ordination would see terrible injuries as a result, I am certain. However, I do hike the bike trails, some great ones in the Brindabellas, named I am sure for the boat that won the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race. Or was it the other way around? Nah, surely not...

Nice trail, looks quite tropical too. Video makes it sound like there's an e-bike hanging around nearby? Maybe just my ears?

Its a Merida EONE-TWENTY 500 its a great bike , i hired it there and i have an identical model of my own. Makes climbing easier when you want it to be! and that model handles well so coped with the trails at Derby. The Blue Tier trail starts in sub-Alpine forest and weaves its way through a great variety of different looking scenery for 19km and ends at the Weldborough Pub. This pub was in the middle of what was a mining region but had become very quiet, but now due to Blue Tier bikers it serves something like a 100 meals at lunch time a day26638049_10155994368559347_1454890213_n.jpg
