Tolosa (Hobart) - All you need to know.

Tolosa Hobart All you need to know

That is a good question. To he honest, I dont know. I really dont know. I think that if you have a cab standing in front of the airport it will be fine. Because there can only come cabs who have a special airport-licence. But if you want to know for sure youll have a "save" cab, you can always ask the airport-personnel.

I am back in Hobart at the moment and took a sneaky look around the bottom area of the bike park this arvo. I must say its pretty impressive, a lot steeper than I expected and looks like a fun way to spend a sunny arvo! Well done to the crew who built/maintain it, definately worth bringing the bike over next time.
Took planty of happy snaps too

haven't ridden it on a hardtail but the top section does get a little rocky in bits, but apart from that tho would still be great fun, there are guys that race it on hardtails so it's definitely doable!

have a search for Clarance MTB Park, the Lea (i think it's scout camp) and also there is a 4wd style track that goes from Mt Wellignton to Glenorchy(I was told it would link up by the start of 2011)

Yep - have noticed that since posting. Will definately be there!

Great sticky! Tolosa is a great mtb park, but at the moment we are having trouble with people riding motorbikes through the park endangering riders/walkers and destroying the trails and dirt jumps. Just recently the brand new dirt jump built by dirt art were ruined by a group of motorcyclists who seemed to get some sick pleasure of sitting on top of the lip and doing a burnout. If you know anyone that does this tell them to stop! If you see anyone doing it tell the rangers! It needs to stop!

I'm heading to Hobart for a week in the holidays with my Family and can only Bring my Remedy with Lyriks (150mm rear - 160mm front)
Would it be possible to ride the Tolosa DH track?

I've ridden DH before and own a Trek Session, which I unfortunately can't bring, so is it possible?

Also are there any other trails I should think about hitting up that a 6" Duallie can handle?

 

[nathanm]

Yep that bike will be fine for Tolosa DH track. It's pretty gnarly but you can make it down on a ht or am rig, though not as fast.

Definitely Mount Wellington, North South track first as a priority, then any of the other legal tracks. Shoot us a PM and I'll hook you up with some guys for shuttling on the weekend if that's your interest.
