Either by going up Mount Paris Dam road which starts just out of Branxholm or take the Tasman Highway to Weldborough then drive/ride down the Paris Dam rd 5.2km to the Atlas trailhead (top of Carnac road)
You can also access Blue Tier on a regular 2wd vehicle... the paid shuttle vehicles are Toyota Hi-ace's and the likes, towing bike trailers. Just drive to the road condition.
The one next to vertigo. Going to be called 'The Hub'. Pizza and beer.

Big Chook has got to be some of the nicest forrest I've ever ridden in, not to mention the best dirt ever and berms to die for. Not a single breaking bump, which is possibly due to trail design so spot on that people don't need to slam on the anchors before every corner. For a while there I thought I was on the set of Lord of the Rings...
Interesting to note that it takes less time to ride/push up to the top of Big Chook than it does to shuttle it. Pub at the bottom is excellent - better than anything in town.
Can't wait to see what they do with the new EWS trails, which will probably open up the area a bit more to bigger travel bikes. Only trail at the moment that's reasonably tech is Black Dragon.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
The area really does suit trail bikes. Never felt out of depth on the scout, even on black dragon (awesome trail btw).
Great trails everywhere, wasn't any I didn't enjoy riding. Atlas was probably a favouite of mine, just had a good mix. And return to sender is abit of fun.
Deffinately go hit up hollybank aswell while in the area and shuttle juggernaught (take my word, you do not want to ride up it. It's dual direction but not worth the pain heading out. My legs are still screaming).
Loved my three days in derby. Hobart trails next! Tassy is awesome.

I'm trying to persuade my mate into buying the pub down the road...... hard work, i see potential there and good to see another bit of new blood is coming into Derby...

Make sure you do the South Hobart classics near the Cascade brewery, they are amazing! Drops, (Upper and Lower) Loam Line and Ginger Lady were my favs!
Did Juggernaut last time and pedal up was OK, except we mostly did it twice as we also rode Ginger Ridge...

They actually had more than Cascade and Boags on offer! Some very respectable craft beer, good food with vegetarian options and staff who weren't on the brink of retirement.

We rode Drops tonight. Still my favourite trail on the whole mountain. So raw & still evolving.

What did you think of Ginger Ridge? It's way out of my skill range, some nasty rock drops and gnarly rocky landings, walked a fair bit of it :faint2: though I haven't ridden it for a while.
The top part of Juggernaut was my favourite.

Drops is totally awesome. Did you get to do Ginger Lady? That was my favourite - so steep and drifty...

Ginger Ridge was full-on, I really wasn't expecting something quite so scary and high consequence. Guess it is a double black diamond, so that's a bit of a clue. Came into some of those chutes and drops without knowing what I was in for and just had to hang on for dear life... If I rode it again I think I'd wear a lot more armour and spend a bit of time scoping lines. Possibly the rockiest track I've ridden and definitely one of the hardest.
