Hotel Pickups start from 10:45am, so there's time for a lie in and a long breakfast. Once in the Mt Wellington Walks Van (by 11am) we take a scenic drive to our walk start point, half way up the Mountain. By this time you will have chosen an EASY walk(2hrs, 4.5km, mostly flat track to the mountain's best features) or an ADVENTUROUS walk (2.5hrs, 4.5km, 550m elevation gain on rough track to the summit). The EASY walk is actually two short walks - one in a tall wet eucalypt forest which visits the Octopus Tree, and the other across boulderfields to Sphinx Rock, a magnificent forest lookout and our lunch spot. The ADVENTUROUS walk begins at the Springs and heads across to Sphinx Rock before ascending the Sawmill Track to the base of the Organ Pipes (spectacular cliffs). From here we do it easy back across the mountain before climbing the steep and rocky Zig Zag Track to an awesome carved rock seat perched high on the mountain. We break here for lunch. A short steep pinch sees us at the summit shortly after. Both Walks include a gourmet lunch enjoyed in the wilds. Both Walks visit the summit - arriving there around 2:10pm. We meet the Island Cycle Tours crew on top of the Mountain at 2:20-2:30pm. There is time for sightseeing and photos of the amazing views before getting started on the Ride. Your expert guides will fit you out with all the gear you need for the Ride down, and give you instructions to ensure it's safe and fun. You will Ride 22km and drop 1270m of elevation from the top of Mt Wellington down to Hobart. Riding starts at 2:40pm down the pinnacle road. There are opportunities along the way to stop for photos. At approximately 3:15pm you arrive at Bracken Lane for an optional offroad section. It's 5km of ups and downs and definitely for the adventurous. The group gets to the Cascade Gardens about 3:50pm for a drink and snack. We have time to enjoy the beautiful gardens before resuming the Ride, finishing in Hobart at 4:30pm
