Below are Klem’s top rides to get you started in FulGaz. A mix of easy and interesting rides to help you test your setup, and make sure everything is working perfectly. Enjoy!
MIDWAY POINT TO HOPE BEACH
Join Mike and Klem on a perfectly sunny Tasmanian summer’s day, riding from Midway Point down towards to South Arm. Start with classic water views crossing McGee's Bridge before exploring the flat, quiet roads around the back of Hobart Airport and Seven Mile Beach. The second half follows the outward leg of the Friday Hook Spin, a regular amongst Southern Tassie’s road cyclists! You’ll tackle Clifton Hill (a short 1.7km climb averaging 4.5%) before descending towards Hope Beach, over a final 9.5% kicker and finishing just short of the “Hook” where you can soak in the view across the bay. We pay our respect to the traditional and original owners of this land the Mumirimina people, to pay respect to those that have passed before us and to acknowledge today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal community who are custodians of this land.
