North West Coast Mountain Bike Trails
The north west and west coast of Tassie are rugged areas of the state that have a mixture of mining, forestry, hydro electric generation and tourism. Don't me fooled by the short distances, as the roads twist and turn every chance they get! This is why the west coast was home to the legendary Wildside MTB stage race.
