With 1.9km of elevation and spectacular views to match, a ride up Hobart's iconic Mt Wellington is both challenge and reward - and not to be missed. And if your riding in the European off-season, keep an eye out for the BMC colours of Richie Porte, Tasmania's favourite cycling son. 

You get the best of both worlds with this ride, 2.1km of elevation on the Mt Wellington loop and a nice long flat ride along the River Derwent.
