M10047 run unique, specialised cycling tours around Australia's island state of Tasmania. An ideal place for cycling due to climate, scenery and terrain, we have cycling tours to cater for everybody. Discerning, gourmet travellers may prefer our fully catered "indulgence tours" with local guides and support van. Independent cycling tour itineraries are available from 6-9 days. Pricing options are for budget and comfort travellers. Bike hire is now offered from half a day to long term hire. The idea for M10047 was conceived early one morning during an intriguing dream. I envisaged myself on a bicycle cruising down Tasmania's spectacular coastlines. A string of colourfully attired cyclists, contented smiles on their weary faces, was following me. When I woke up I felt the urge to go for a ride. Riding provides the absolute freedom to lose yourself in thought. I found myself developing the foundation of this idea and by the time I returned home, M10047 was born.
Tasmania is a wonderful cycle touring state. With light traffic, good roads, spectacular scenery and lots of rolling hills, this little gem of an island is fast becoming a mecca for the independent cycle tourist. Having been brought up in Tasmania, I understand that there are so many areas of this state that people would find captivating. I wanted to show visitors to this state that there are better ways to explore than just by sitting behind the windscreen of a car. The sight of the coastline, the sound of the waves, the smell of the rainforest, and the feel of the wind on your face are so appealing to me that I think everyone should have the chance for this experience.
Cycling for many is an activity well beyond their comfort zones. I decided that I would make the rewarding activity of cycle touring as easy as possible for those less inspired about tackling it on their own. Gourmet food, quality accommodation and unique scenery make Tasmania a 5 star destination for those who know where to look. M10047 is a very special intermingling of local knowledge and the best that Tasmania has to offer. We use only the best restaurants, freshest produce, classiest and comfortable lodgings, and personable, knowledgeable guides to cater to your every need. The support van is the thing that most appeals to our clients. Having the security of it carrying all your gear, and knowing that you can always skip a stage and ride in the van offers a sense of relief that help is always at hand. Sometimes even the most Chicken Soup for the Soul moments are not enough and cannot be conquered purely by the mind. When the body just needs a good rest, the van is there.
This type of tour is unique in Tasmania. There are other tour operators offering cycle touring and other countries bring tours over of their own. I am Tasmanian born, raised and educated in Tasmania. I am proud to have travelled extensively and yet still end up coming home every time. We are so lucky to have the facilities and natural features here in Tasmania, that we often take it for granted. People travel because the grass is always greener on the other side. Well, that green grass just happens to be Tasmania. A small group of specialised, experienced cyclists are the backbone of M10047. All Tasmanian, or at least honorary Tasmanians, the guides set the tone of the trip. We are conveyers of knowledge, highly trained, skilled individuals, each with our own personality and background. Along with these differences and unique characteristics, is the one defining feature we all display: a deep passion for Tasmania and the desire to show it off at its absolute best. |
