Tasmania is very hilly and steep, be prepared. Average main road climbs are 10% and often can get up to 15-17%. Ride lots in hilly areas, ensure you have a wide gear range and develop a climbing psyche.

I have added your blogspot into my blog reader.
I have had a quick look at your blogspot and noticed a Surly Long Trucker.
We have done some long distance riding on road bikes, and now are looking to purchase a tour specific bike.
Particularly interested in the Surly Disc Trucker.
Warm Regards

Also I highly recommend a trip across to Maria Island. Some great walks and plenty of wildlife over there.
