  You know the long, hot Licola ride in February. Well this is a cold, wet but short ride to Tallarook in August. They are calendar opposite but Indian summer conditions are possible. Certainly it is nearing the end of winter and worth a shot for a day out of town.

  It is a Sunday ride leaving Platters at 9:45. We will fit most of the action in the morning including something of the Cobaw Ranges and the boulder-strewn, granite country around Pyalong. Lunch is at the refurbished Tallarook Hotel and followed by a return ride to Healesville.

  An 'easy' rated day but does include two unsealed roads that add to 4 km. Both roads help avoid busy ones as well as make for an interesting route. Take comfort they won’t be dusty.

  Total distance is 280 km. Leave behind Gortex, thermals and Pinlock at your peril.

  This sets the date for the 2022 Tiger Hunt:

  Friday, Feb 11 – Sunday, Feb 20, 2022

  
  

  The plan is to head straight over the Highlands from Devonport for the first night at Strathgordon. It is followed by two nights at Tullah Lakeside Lodge on the west coast, single nights at Deloraine and St Helens, then a double-header in Hobart to finish. It is a double clockwise swirl that gets the west in first, just to confuse the anti-counterclockwisers.

  Features of this Hunt include a multi-option day based from Tullah, quality time in the hills of northern Tasmania, working in the historic town of Ross (pictured) and sampling some new roads down south. More detail to be published in August Desmoto.
