What to bring
Biking can be quite strenuous so it is always wise to carry water and easy food such as muesli bars, protein bars, mixed nuts or fruit. Camelback’s are popular as a drink bottle choice and most bikes carry a water bottle holder.
We also recommend sunscreen in the warmer months as the Tassie sun can be strong! -
A spare bike tube
A small pump or co2 canister
A small multi tool to get you out of trouble
Make sure your bike is tip top by getting it tuned up at the local bike mechanic or ask your bike hire store if they provide any extra essentials for on the road.

We also recommend downloading Derby Trails Blue Derby app or Trailforks to help you navigate the trails.
