Right into Gordon Ave

Left into Doyle

Lenah Valley

Left into Pottery Rd and follow this all the way until you get to the unsealed bit

Take the sealed road that goes uphill steeply, with the boom gate across it

Start the single track here, following it uphill

Watch out for a little single track descent that goes off to the left

Join the Main Fire Trail here and turn right

Turn up onto the Old Farm Fire Trail. A tricky technical ascent that can be ridden...just!

From Junction Cabin, head down the Old Farm Track...fast!

Watch out for the sign post on the big tree taking you down to the right (i.e. continue onto the Old Farm Track)

Back at The Main Fire Trail. Turn right and follow this along for about 200m

Look for the trail heading off to the right - the start is reasonably obvious. This is a hoot - you can work up some speed going down here

Onto Old Farm Rd - follow this down past Cascades

South Hobart

Turn right onto Cascade Rd and head up the hill

Turn right onto Huon Rd and more uphill!

The turn off point can be a bit difficult to see, but keep an eye out for a gravel layby on the corner here, and a small wooden bridge at the start of the track

The route through the forrest in the last section of trail can be a bit tricky to follow, but it is fun

Back onto Cascades, only heading into the city now

Turn left onto McRobies Rd and then right onto Degraves St

Look out for the little alley exit of Degraves to take you down onto the track that runs along Hobart Rivulet
