Title: FarRoad Tasmania - Swansea
Post by: Taffey on Feb 21, 2026, 04:29 AM
East Coast Lines

Some rides are about remoteness. 
Some are about rhythm. 
Swansea is the latter.


On 9 May, FarRoad heads to Tasmania's east coast. The Eastern Coast offers long coastal sweepers, measured elevation changes, and that rare combination of ocean light and open road that riders will find rewarding.

Positioned between sea and farmland, it draws riders north and south along one of the cleanest stretches of sealed road in the country. It is accessible without being trivial.

This ride finishes at Bark Mill Tavern and is coordinated locally by Carsten.

Ride Options

iRode 1000 – 1,000 km in 24 hours 
iRode 1250 – 1,250 km in 24 hours 
iRode 805/12 – 805 km in 12 hours 
iRode my way – Ride rule free

Check-in window: 
11:30am to 12:00 noon (local time)

Swansea in May brings cool air and lower traffic volumes. Ideal conditions for long-distance riding.

Plan deliberately. 
Ride cleanly. 
Finish well.
