On last weekends Ural Australia ride windup dinner at the top pub, someone mentioned doing something different on our Urals and I piped up “Tassie loop ride in 5 days“!!... silence!.. then a few hands went up with a bunch of excited chatter!
Then I got to thinking!...You know what! it can be done!...catch the Sunday night ferry in Melbourne for Devonport, ride Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday and Friday catching the ferry at Devonport for Melbourne that night.
Why those days?... example!.. a Sydney rider can knock off work on Friday night, leave on Saturday morning with a stop over that night, and on Sunday complete the trip to Melbourne to catch the ferry.
The following Friday night (after completing the Tassie loop) catch the ferry back to Melbourne and ride back to Sydney on Saturday and Sunday and be back at work on Monday morning.
It would mean taking 5 days off work and utilise two weekends to get over and back from Tassie.
All food for thought and it may just work out if properly planned!...anyone wanting to stay on can (as we would) but to qualify for a one of lapel badge you must start and finish at Devonport.
As an aside!..Bobsie and I have done two trips to Tassie on our Urals totalling 6 weeks. The first time with 13 other Urals riding the Retro, and on both our Urals the second time round, so there’s not much of Tassie we haven’t ridden.
Here we go again!... any hands up??... because the “Tassie Ural 5 Day Rip” if it happens! would be in late February into March (no year planned as yet) may just turn out to be big!
edit....IMPORTANT! this ride would be for ALL Ural Owners. I am using the forum as a means to get things rolling. To have the thumbs up from Ural Australia would be brilliant.
Cheers Wheels😎
