Road Cycle Challenge 2009
Next departure: 10 day epic Tassie tour: Saturday 7 February - Monday 16 February 2009 6 day west coast tour:
Wednesday 11 February - Monday 16 February 2009 4 day east coast: Saturday 7 February - Tuesday 10 February 2009.
Tasmania is the ideal place for the serious road cyclist. Great roads, many of them backroads and bypassed
old highways with light traffic, stunning scenery and a temperate climate all make for a brilliant
training group. We invite you to join us on the toughest training tour around, with heart-breaking
climbs, adrenaline-charged descents, sensational twists and turns and opportunities to never ride the
same road twice.
Our epic training tours are designed for those more serious cyclists, or those who want to get well out
of their comfort zone. All our tours are capped to keep numbers down, past participants agree you'll get more out of riding in
a small group, than getting lost in a huge bunch of strangers.
Select from one of the following tours: |

4 day East Coast (7-10 February 2009)
Spend four days cruising at high speed up Tasmania's scenic East Coast. This is the first four days of the longer 10 day Epic
tour of Tasmania. If you don't have the time to do the whole lot, or think it might be a little beyond you at this stage, then this 4 day long
weekend option may
just be the best thing for you. Tour starts in Hobart and finishes in Launceston with three nights accommodation in Swansea, St Helens and Bridport
along the way.
Price: $1195 per person twin share

6 day West Coast (11 - 16 February 2009)
This is 6 days of the riding around Tasmania's wicked and hilly west coast. Not for the faint-hearted this tour is not only challenging, it's also extremely
scenic with rolling hills that never let you lose your focus. If you don't have the time for the entire 10 days, but want a real workout, then this may be the solution for you. This tour starts in Launceston and finishes in Hobart.
Overnight stays include Sheffield, Tullah, Strahan, Bronte Park and Hobart.
Price: $1795 per person twin share

10 day Epic (7 - 16 February 2009)
Starting in Hobart, then heading east to Launceston, and finishing back in Hobart 10 days later via
the west coast, this 1330 km training ride over ten days takes the serious cyclist along Tasmania's
spectacular yet challenging coastlines. If you don't have time for the entire ten days, this tour combines
both the East Coast 4 day tour and West
Coast 6 day tour so you can select a shorter option if you prefer.
Price: $2990 per person twin share
