Route Information 2013

The Great Escapade returned to Tasmania for the first time since 2007. Starting in Launceston, over 600 riders travelled through Scottsdale, Weldborough and along the east coast of Tasmania via St Helens, Bicheno, Triabunna, Copping and Port Arthur. Riders got to savour side trips to the Bay of Fires and the spectacular Wineglass Bay, and free entry into Launceston Festivale and the heritage listed site of Port Arthur.
