City to Summit - Salamanca to the top of the town, Mt Wellington. What can we say? The company's great, the scenery - SPECTACULAR! This one is worth the effort just to see the lights of Hobart and there's a fast, easy downhill back home.

2 Bridges Far Enough - The Derwent River shoreline is riddled with cycleways, and the night shines a whole new light on them. Following the Intercity upriver and various paths and backroads down the Eastern Shore, this ride will give you a thirst for next year's season. Rosny Hill is worth the climb for the view. 20km some dirt - easy
