Thank you for joining us Mark!
Trading the Sunrise studio lights for the dappled glow of Tassie’s forests. Day one of the Blue Derby Pods Ride and I’m already in awe – flowing singletrack, towering trees, and that crisp mountain air. Tonight, it’s all about unwinding in the pods, perched right in nature’s heart. This is the reset I needed.
Day two and the legs are loving it! Epic trails through lush rainforest (and a tin mine!), punctuated by gourmet local produce and a fireside chat back at the pods. This isn’t just riding – it’s an experience that feeds the soul. If you’ve ever dreamed of combining adventure with luxury, this is it!
Wrapping up three unforgettable days on Tassie’s best trails. Today’s ride was pure magic – sweeping descents, fern‑lined paths, and that feeling of freedom you only get on two wheels. A special shout‑out to the legendary Blue Tier trail – a rainforest‑wrapped, 20km descent that feels like dropping into another world. Towering myrtles, mossy giants, cool mountain air… it’s one of those rides that stays with you long after the tyres stop rolling. Truly a treasure of this place. Huge thanks to the crew at Blue Derby Pods Ride for making this trip so special. Until next time, Derby!
