The best adventure ride in Tasmanian Mountain biking: BLUE TIER TO BAY OF FIRES! 

Come and join us and experience this epic day for yourself, finishing at the beach for a swim!

The Blue Tier overlooks the world renowned coastline known as the Bay of Fires. Start your 42km ride with a stunning view of the Bay of Fires, your final destination. This singletrack trail takes you through the diversity of blackwood and myrtle forests, giant granite boulders to coastal eucalypt and grass tree landscapes, ending at the stunning beaches of Tasmania's east coast.

The first 13km of the trail includes exceptional flow, flow that rivals the best of Blue Derby and will get your adrenaline pumping for the rest of the ride. After regrouping with your mates for the initial climb, the trail ascends into beautiful coastal forests making you almost forget you’re climbing. And finally, after drinking in the epic view of the Bay of Fires from the end of the climb, a fun 6km final descent will deliver you to the coast.
