If you don't mind my asking, what do you do up Bridport?
I used to Ai on the Clovelly farms a stone throw from Bridport.

Hey Tubeless I actually work at the Launceston airport as a firefighter, but grew up on a dairy farm on the way to Derby.
Also rode all the newly opened trail from Derby today had a ball, it's all awesome and there are some big jump lines for those that like the aerial route. Should be some good viewing for the enduro round.
A group of us just had 5 days riding - fantastic! "Return to sender" is now officially my favourite track ever...
Buck at Vertigo was a great help, the weather wasn't so we're still yet to ride the Blue Tier, but we did get a couple of goes at the fabulous Big Chook.

Up Rusty Crusty, down Krushcka, with the ones in between that I cant remember.

Did the gravity enduro on the weekend. Rode some of the new trails, Upper Long Shadows (a pretty decent climb to the Black Stump but not too hard) Upper Flickerty Sticks (really fast and flowy once it gets going) Black Stump (Rocky and Technical decent) Shear Pin (very rocky and technical with large off camber rock slabs that are surprisingly grippy) and 23 Stitches (Fast with flow and gap jumps). Loved them all! Still didn't get time to do Return to Sender and Blue Tier.
Return to Sender is awesome, best track there.
At least you've got a trip booked :twitch::rant::llama:

I'm taking mine, paid for extra baggage allowance with Jetstar to Launceston (30kg's)
I thought that I would know my own bike better than a rental, so hopefully can think less about the bike and enjoy the trails more.

I was quite surprised how grippy the granite is, even when wet, had to change my lines to use it for grip when possible.

Im riding my steel HT 29er pub bike with a 120mm fork.
Looking forward to it, we'll be there next week, staying in Branxholm caravan park then the missus is shuttling me to the top of Blue Tier the day we arrive, then the next morning after brekky, I'll be taking my boys around the lower trails, might even get err to drop us off at the Atlas trail head and come down from there.

It starts at the top of Long Shadows, opposite Upper Flickety & Black Stump. It's quite a long trail & comes out opposite the Post Office in town.

branxholm is ideal for camping! definitely my preferred spot even if it means driving into derby each day..
blue tiers is still slightly wet but rideable unless the trail gets closed..definitely worth of the ride..
instead of hitting up atlas id suggest exploring the new trails around the black stump trail head...all are accessible via devil wolf or commercial shuttle (private vehicles no longer allowed)
