How to pack your bags

Your luggage will be transferred to our accommodation in the heart of the Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails network. Please pack your gear in modest bags that can be easily transported. Bring all your gear for Day 1 in a small day bag. Our Experience Leaders can carry a sun hat/extra layer for you in their ride pack if required.

What to wear on Day One

We’ll be travelling 1.25hrs from Launceston to Derby. If comfortable, please be dressed ready to ride, however we do stop at public facilities 15 minutes prior to our first trail, where you’ll be able to change. In this case, please have gear ready to go in your Day 1 bag.
