King of the Mountain

Mount Wellington, dominates the Hobart skyline rising some 1200m above sea level. The weather looked like it would be slightly better than it had been so I set about taking on the challenge to trike to the top.








It was around 14ºC when I started to ride the temperature at the top was 0ºC but the wind was around 40km/h which made for a pretty bad wind chill factor. There is still plenty of snow at the top.






The flags are nearly being blown horizontal even though the parking spot is sheltered by the observation shelter.

It was a hard slog up to the top but the ride down is great.

Distance Covered 34.47km
