Bark Off Biking

Blue Derby's trail network put this corner of Tasmania's north-east on the international mountain-biking map, and Bark Off Biking runs its coaching and guiding out of Main Street in Derby itself, with a second base at the Flagstaff trailhead in St Helens. Local riders lead sessions across Blue Derby, Blue Tier, Atlas and the Bay of Fires, and the coaching side is led by PMBIA-accredited instructors — skills work aimed at riders wanting to progress rather than just be shown a trail. The shop runs seven days a week, and guided rides sit alongside shuttle and hire services rather than replacing them, so visitors can pick up a skills session, a guided loop, or both across a stay. It suits riders of any level, from those wanting help finding flow on Blue Derby's blue and black runs to experienced visitors after local knowledge of the Blue Tier's alpine descents. A practical, locally rooted base for exploring one of Australia's best-regarded trail networks.
