My first trip to Tasmania is a 500km bike ride from Launceston to Hobart along the east coast. Three friends and I packed enough clothing and gear for the six day trip and are staying in the various towns along the way.

We've just finished day 3 in the lovely port town of St Helens and thoroughly enjoying the relatively independent travel, the exploration and adaptability required for a trip like this.

Tasmania's weather, infamously inclement, has been generous with cool, cosy days with low wind.

Tomorrow is on to Binencho and Coles Bay, riding along the coast, so we'll see what that brings...

its marc's birthday today!

fiona organized a birthday cheescake with candles 😍

while 150 people from the paris dakar race entered the campground and it feels like eating the cake in a motorcycle workshop. noise and smell of petrol driven vehicles. we feel very small and unseen with our minimal setup between the high equipped trucks, cars and bikes.

btw.
thanks to @Pedro1963 and pbzuercher for the boost!

servicing the bike is mandatory.
we changed the chains and as you see in the picture after 3000km the chain got nearly half a link longer 😳
