Social rides - Tasmania
Spring has sprung which prompts many of us to want to shake off winter hibernations and get active again. Riding a bicycle is one of the easiest ways to improve your fitness but do you do it on your own or with a group?
Take your pick of Tasmanian rides
Our social ride leaders have another great mix of rides on offer this fortnight with location across the south, Tamar Valley, Cressy and Gunns Plains. All rides are free to join and are run by Bicycle Network volunteer ride leaders.
Platypuses, peace and women’s health
Special rides to celebrate events including platypus spotting to publicise a citizen science project, a ride as part of the Launceston Peace Festival and a ride to mark Women’s Health Week will be among the list of social rides this fortnight.

Second go at Ulverstone ride trio
The north-west riders are hardy bunch so it’s unusual for them to cancel a ride but last month’s gale-force winds means the three choices out of Ulverstone has been rescheduled to 27 August.
Birds and bikes mix in Otago Bay ride
History and nature lovers are catered for in a new ride out to Otago Bay on Thursday 17 August which includes stops at a wrecked barque and bird reserve, and history lovers can get a second dose on the Charles Darwin Trail ride on Saturday 12 August.
Social Rides spreading far and wide
There’s a good mix of locations for this fortnight’s social rides with Hobart western and eastern shore routes, southern rides in Margate and Cygnet, Ulverstone and the regular Wednesday rides outside of Launceston.
North East Rail Trail just the ticket
Our volunteers have made a timely addition to their self-guided Tasmanian rides collection: the North East Rail Trail.
Be prepared before a ride
When most of us head out on our bikes we are not expecting the worst to happen, but being prepared for everything can mean you or other riders get access to help if they need it.
Winter warmer rides rolling out
There’s a busy fortnight of free social rides on the way: everything from a slow and friendly 7km amble on Hobart’s eastern shore to the regular 30–50km Wednesday morning TBUG rides which get the heart pumping.
Looking forward to more riding time!
Now we’ve passed the winter solstice we can all look forward to longer days to fit in more riding. We’ve got a mixed bag of rides coming up which is always good because it means there’s something for everyone!
