Derby will host its first major international MTB event next year.  Enduro World Series event organisers have announced that Tassie's Blue Derby MTB trails will be included in its 2017 calendar. 

This is a huge recognition of the quality of the trails developed in the area, and the event will be a great filip to Derby's growing tourism businesses.  The three day event will be held in April 2017 and is expected to attract 500 cyclists and up to 1500 spectators as well as 60 journalists and photographers. 

There will be spinoffs to the rest of Tasmania through our other riding trails (such as North East Rail Trail, North South trail on Mt Wellington), food and wine experiences and wilderness destinations.  Tourism operators around Derby and across the State should be looking forward to this!
