There are a bunch of ways to commute down off Mt Wellington into Hobart’s CBD on an MTB. My favorite routes usually end up with a run down Red Wine – a raw little trail that drops down the hills behind Cascades.

At this time of year trail conditions are ever changing. Red Wine has gone from greasey Winter, to tacky Spring, to dry and dusty Summer. Cool thing is it’s fun no matter what, and after the ride down on a Sunday there’s time to stop in at the farmer’s market for coffee and breakfast before work.
