> My girlfriend and I are planning a cycle trip from DEVONPORT to Hobart in late FEB'93 - we have 2 MTB's . We haven't bought any racks an panniers yet as we are unsure as to whether to hire or buy. We won't be camping, we are going to at least sleep comfortably at night, so we may only need 1 set of panniers each. Can we hire this sort of gear in Tassie? Any recommendations as to where to go and what to avoid along the east coast??

Heard about the Great Tasmanian Bike Ride? 20th. Feb to 28th. Feb from
Devonport to Hobart. Organised by Bicycle Victoria, it costs $350 for all meals,
luggage transport (don't need panniers!), medical, mechanics etc. Expect
about 1000 people. It does involve setting up your own tent, but remember
the touring cyclist's motto: Sleep rough, but eat well!
