Audax Tasmania – Dark of Winter 200 km BrevetThe dark of winter is no excuse to stay indoors — it’s the perfect moment to chase something bold. This Audax Tasmania 200 km brevet turns a cold June day into a full‑blown adventure.
You roll out from Cornelian Bay and onto the Intercity Cycleway, warming the legs as the Derwent glows in the early light. The route follows the river all the way to scenic Bushy Park, where misty paddocks and hop fields set the tone for the day.
From there, the real magic begins: you climb out of the fog‑soaked Derwent Valley via Hollow Tree Road, rising into open country as the world below disappears in cloud. The run into Bothwell feels wild, quiet, and unmistakably winter.
Bothwell is a key checkpoint — make sure to get your brevet card signed at the grocery store or one of the cafés on Alexander Street. Grab a quick snack or linger over a hot coffee before turning back toward Hobart.
Then it’s the long, satisfying return: crisp air, big skies, quiet roads, and that unbeatable feeling of doing something epic while everyone else stays inside.
A winter challenge with grit, scenery, and serious bragging rights.
