To enhance your cycling experience, a series of podcasts have been developed to give you a better appreciation of what the Great Western Tiers has to offer. Your cycling podcasts can be downloaded for free on this website.

• A series of colour-coded totems and signposts that correspond with the podcast chapters will help to guide you along the four themed rides. Keep an eye out for these markers as you explore the Great Western Tiers.
• Look for this symbol in the shop windows of businesses located throughout the Great Western Tiers region. These businesses are recognised as cycling friendly establishments and can help you to plan your journey and answer any questions you may have.
• If you are uncertain of your location and need some help, ask a friendly local. Tasmanians are renowned for their friendly and helpful nature and this is very much the case here in "the Tiers".
• Whilst it is perfectly legal to ride two abreast on Tasmanian roads, it may be safer to ride in single file on some narrower road sections.
• Stay safe by carrying sufficient water and appropriate clothing.
• Check the weather forecast when planning your journey. In spring you can experience four seasons in one day, so plan to make your experience the best it can be by paying a visit to the Bureau of Meteorology's website.
• Whilst each ride is relatively short in distance, take your time to listen to the podcasts and experience the many attractions, short walks, gourmet produce outlets and chat with our friendly residents. Take some time to smell the roses and listen to the silence!
• The Great World Heritage Ride can be quite challenging, climbing to an altitude of approximately 1000 metres, with a steep descent to the Liffey Falls. The last 6 kilometres down to the falls are on unsealed road, which is relatively narrow. This section is only suitable for hybrid bikes and the more experienced rider, however the effort is extremely rewarding.
