Ultimate Victorian Adventure Ride

This is the Ultimate Victorian Adventure Ride aimed at larger Adventure bikes. We’ve had this ride in the pipeline for a couple of years now and its epic.The ride will run from the most easterly point of Victoria in Mallacoota, on the beach, to the most north westerly point of Victoria over near Mildura on the Murray River. Covering the best sections of temperate rainforests, high country, snow fields, iconic valleys, goldfields, open plains, and deserts the state has to offer! This ride has it all in terms of riding terrain and conditions.

This ride is suited for adventure bikes with 250 km fuel range or more. The riding will be typical adventure riding with plenty of scenic gravel roads and flowing 4wd tracks to keep riders enthralled. There'll be the odd harder track to put the 'adventure' into the day's ride and get the group to an iconic lookout or 2. This is a point to point ride so riders would have to get themselves to Mallacoota for the start of the ride and home from Mildura. This is a ride for adventurous riders with a keen sense of adventure. Our extremely experienced support riders will safely and confidently get you through all sections.

So if you are up for a personal, physical and mental challenge that will push your skills over a week long period, this is the ride for you. The riding is all forestry roads, 4wd tracks and in the desert, sandy tracks with a bitumen transit section connecting the mountains to the desert.
