Epic Trails in the Land of the Lost - Tasmania Enduro World Series 11

Dry, dusty, and rocky - for now!

Round two of the Enduro World Series and although we're still in the Southern Hemisphere, the wild island of Tasmania offers a stark contrast to the jungles of Rotorua. With rain predicted to move in for the race, it might be more of the same come Sunday though. In the meantime, time to discover what lies ahead as the racers took to the tracks for the first time at this round.

Waking up in new exotic destinations for the World Enduro Series is why most of us follow this series. Well its why I do anyway.

​Every now and then the true locals would dodge a marshal and duck under the tape for their normal daily ride in the forest. This guy was killing it and I'm not joking. Pinned.

Wyn Masters with the yellow plate this weekend. Will he back up his big win with another top finish this weekend? The pressure is on!
I'm sure there is a story or explanation of why Max Schumann is rocking the bullet head look. I asked what happened and he simply said it's gone. Hips for days on stage four.
Joe Barnes on stage three.
Caro Gehrig flying.
The long rocky straight on stage four had riders stopped and scoping lines. I don't know why because the best way down was dead straight down the middle. Theo Galay agrees.

So many cool places just a short drive away from the venue which many of the teams have been able to visit between Rotorua and here. Wineglass Bay voted one of World's top ten beaches.

Well there you have it boys and girls, the Enduro World Series never ceases to amaze! Exotic locations, world-class trails, and some of the fastest people on two wheels are just some of the ingredients that make up this magical mix. Stay tuned for more as the action unfolds over the weekend.

Bonus fun with Sven as he samples the local terrain and avoids death the entire way:
