The Hardcore Posties are back and this time they're taking it overseas.

After three long years of running charity-raising rides through the tough Australian desert, the Hardcore Postie team are shaking the sand out of their CT110's, and heading across the Tasman to the Apple Isle.

"Thanks to major support provided by Trailbike Adventure Magazine, this year's run will be code named 'Hardcore TBAM Tassie Posties'," said ride organiser Phil Hodgens.

"The action will start from the moment the little Hondas roll off the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry at Devonport, 10 - 13 October, and this year we have shortened it to four days to attract an even more diverse range of CT110 riders."

The event will raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis, an illness that affects almost 15,000 Australians, and whilst there is no entry fee, riders must cover their own costs and prepare their own bikes.

Entrants must raise a minimum of $500 for MS through their own fundraising campaigns or simply by making a tax deductible donation.

Riders will need to be self sufficient, carrying their own food and water and camping gear, as well as a 10 litre fuel capacity for use between refuels.

"Tassie Route Master, Shane Streets has mapped out an off road route that will travel a deserted railway line over crumbling bridges, through rainforests to remote beaches and the great Tassie icon, Jacobs Ladder," Phil explained.

"Shane reckons the ride will be challenging but achievable for all riders with moderate skills and a good sense of humour."
