Day Trips – Tony's Tasmanian Cycling Blog

March 2022 – Wrap

It’s been a good month and first quarter 2022 for cycling, allowing me to finish it with 33% of the annual challenge completed. That will be needed when winter comes in and riding reduces. The March total shows as “Goal Not Met” at 88% complete. That’s because I set it at 750 kilometres expecting to ride the Edge of The World trip – which was, of course, cancelled due to covid. After being a little demotivated in February it was good to be back in the saddle and enjoying the cycling.

Scottsdale Rail Trail – 2022

At the end of November 2015 I went to the opening of the Scottsdale to Tonganah section of the North East Tasmania Rail Trail. As part of this work the trail surface for the existing section from Tonganah to Billycock Hill had also upgraded. Sadly, since that time, further plans to extend the trail towards Launceston have been held up by Court challenges and Government enquiries while no further improvement to the track surface has happened.
