Tasmaniacs 2003

 Although many short trip had been had by the time Tasmania was dreamed up in a bar late one night, it was my first big bike trip undertaken. I think i got return airfares for $100! We pushed pretty hard every day covering about 100 hilly kilometers. Our days off were often spent hiking up mountains such as Mt Rufus (above). This mountain affords some of the best views in Tasmania and we were very fortunate to have a beautifully clear day. We were so impressed by the scenery we spent almost 3 hours on the summit boiling tea and enjoying nature!

 High up in the Mt Field NP. Such an awesome climb, 10+km of dirt and 1000m of vert
