Pelverata Road info

[AndyRevill]

Hi All,

Can anyone give me some info on how long the dirt section is on Pelverata road? Also, is it on a relatively flat or steep section and any idea on the current condition? I want to do a loop from Margate and would prefer to go anti-clockwise i.e. over Pelverata from the Sandfly end but if the dirt is steep I may go the other way.

Many thanks,

Andy

The dirt's on a relatively flat section, and it's quite well kept (although the rain over the last few days will not have helped). I started from the South Hobart side, I think going the other way would be a little harder but I'm yet to try it myself.

Here's a Pelverata/Cygnet/Kingston loop I did a couple weeks ago:

Thanks heaps, that's perfect. Almost went today but ended up having to do something else but it's on the agenda soon

Cheers, Andy

Yep, the dirt is fine and generally good quality as the section isn't subject to much in the way of water erosion. Coming from the Huonville end is definitely harder IMHO.

Finally got to ride it yesterday. Great ride! at the moment I'd say in places the bitumen is worse than the dirt - a few pot holes going almost all the way across the road. The dirt was generally fine apart from one bit about a km from the end, badly corrugated and I couldn't find an easy way through. I thought my arms were going to vibrate out of their sockets

cheers, Andy
