Hobart to Richmond Circle












Today was only a short ride, 84km circut. I rode out over the Derwent river via the Tasman Bridge, I remember as if it was yesterday when an ANL ship hit the bridge, my dad used to know the captain that was involved in that unfortunate disaster.


The road continues across the double causeway which was built by convicts in 1872. Eventually the road takes you to Richmond and to some historical buildings worth a visit including the oldest Catholic in Australia, the church of England church and the Richmond gaol are worth spending time exploring, the road takes you through some nice country and it is a good quality road with some nice curves to test your skills.

If you are hungry and are at Richmond there are many places to eat I came across Antons who is an Italian fellow who makes a very nice pizza and his coffee is pretty special as well, the name of his establishment is "ANTONS BEST OF TASMANIA". it's on the main road at Richmond and there is plenty of parking and outside tables so you can keep an eye on your ride.
