M O U N T N E L S O N
A ride up to Mount Nelson is not for the faint hearted. As the name suggests, it is straight up a hill, greeting you with a beautiful view of nipaluna/Hobart at the top.
How Long is this ride?
This ride is 22km in distance, but don’t let the distance fool you, you will be riding straight up hill.
Difficulty
All rides are designed to showcase some of our favourite parts of our doorstep, which generally involves a number of hills. As such we recommend you have some form of bike experience to give these rides a go… and come with your best climbing legs (or at least a good attitude).
This is the shortest, but not necessarily easiest ride we have on our list of loops. The climb is nothing too crazy, a relatively consistent 6% gradient the whole way.
Suggested Finish Locations:
Coffee: Area2BE post ride.
Alcohol, beers and burgers: We recommend making a post ride recovery stop at Preachers if you’re that way inclined.
