The Blue Dragon Challenge combines the scenically beautiful Blue Tier with the rich history of The Trail of the Tin Dragon. Add the element of a two day mountain bike ride through this amazing area and you have a challenge that will leave you rewarded and left totally fulfilled, knowing you have just experienced some of the best adventure trails in Tasmania.
Day One is a 50km loop starting and finishing in the historic township of Derby. You will journey through the surrounding hills and across open plains with stunning vistas to the North and East coasts, delving deep into the rainforests and along river edges before returning to Derby. You can then relax and enjoy a dip in the river and soak up the charm and history of this once bustling tin mining town.
Day Two is also a 50km loop, starting and finishing in Weldborough.
You will ride deep into mining history, passing the old Anchor mine on your way to the top of the Blue Tier. This North East alpine area has it all, from big granite boulders to huge myrtle trees and stunning rainforest. Best of all, it involves the infamous Blue Tier decent trail all the way back to the finish.
To be part of this unique event you will need to team up with a partner and ride as a pair for the entire event. This element of partnership adds the challenge of co-operation and enables you to share this great adventure with someone along the way.
