Mt Wellington stands at 1271m above sea level and the summit is only 23 kilometres from the city centre. On a good day views can be afforded for over 100 kilometres in all directions. Some of Tasmania's lowest temperatures have been recorded at the summit (-0.9C overnight in March 1995) so participants are advised to be prepared. |  Ride above the clouds |
It's not all cold temps though. Hobart's latitude of 42.5 degrees south is equivalent to Madrid, Spain (42.25 degrees N). On a good day temperatures in Hobart can rise over 25C and the sun is hotter than you'd expect. For the latest weather report from the Pinnacle click here.
