If you want to join others in the process there is a Police charity ride that covers the west coast - you could pick them up and ride back with them. there is also the Ronde in february where the first two days takes you from Hobart to Zeehan via Strahan.
For mine this road is one of the magic riding experiences. The climbs are reasonably easy - apart from Wayatinah hill - and the scenery is amazing. The descent down off Victoria Pass has to be one of the best going around and the trip along the shores of Lake Burbury is just stunning.
You might have guessed that I like this ride.
Log trucks - not these days and rarely west of Norfick. Sports cars and motor bikes driving too fast - yep. My strategy - make sure you aren't the last rider on the road!!!

Day 1 Strahan to Tarraleah... 178km.... 3940m climbing.
This day was the highlight...
Day 2 Tarraleah to Hobart.... 130odd? Mainly downhill; so uphill from Hobart direction.
