Tassie Loop: Scottsdale to Launceston

11 Feb 2014
Started at 7am with a meat pie and mug of tea in the town.  We decided to ride the A3 Tasman Highway which was a good choice.  Apart from the 8km climb up to the Sideling Lookout (elevation 594m), the ride was fast.  Met another £10 Pom at the top of the hill.  He was from Tooting and used to drive the 49 bus in London until he left in the 70's.  He was happy with his life as Australian.
Arrived in Launceston by 1pm.  We booked a hotel, so hot shower, clean up and crisp white sheets.  We dropped the bikes off for a service, but looks like a change of chains and rear sprocket set.
Distance: 63km
