For those confirmed riders. you are now included in the Ride Chat 𝗧𝗔𝗦𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 – 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟮.

Please ensure to “Check In” on the Ride Chat, and turn notifications “ON”. All communications and updates for those riding Tasmania are via the
𝗧𝗔𝗦𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 – 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟮 Ride Chat only.

TAS2026 will be a 21 day ride if you choose to ride all 3 stages, or you may wish to ride only 1 or 2 stages and transport the remainder. To simplify communications, you will only be included in the Ride Chat for the stage you are riding.
