According to a recent article in the North Eastern Advertiser (20 June 2012), moves are afoot to develop the tourism potential of Mountain Biking in the North East of Tasmania.
According to the article a discussion paper on the potential of developing a world class mountain bike experience in the North East has just been released.
The report titled "Mountain Bike Tourism Potential in Northern Tasmania" (10.4mb) is available on Northern Development Tasmania's (NDT) website.
There's no denying there's some great trails up that way, and according to the Advertiser article, a North Eastern Mountain Bike Development Project has been initiated by NDT which includes the development of 100km of bike trail infrastructure at a cost of $4.3 million.
