Run by a group of people
who just love to ride and get away for a weekend, these events are open
to riders of any make of dirt bike. Seven tours a year, run
monthly from end of March to November, take in fantastic terrain in Victoria's’
North East.
We've featured in MXTV, Australasian Dirt Bike, Trailzone and
Trailrider magazines. Red Rider magazine features a story and photos
from each ride.

The Tracks
|
The guides spend considerable time pre running each
tour, searching for out of the way and seldom ridden tracks.
Access to plenty of private property allows access to many great
tracks off limits to the public. Leaf littered loamy tracks are a
specialty of the tours and the quality of the riding is a standout.
Ride tracks you’ve never seen before around Yackandandah,
Eskdale, Corryong, Benambra, Tom Groggin, Harrietville, Porepunkah, Bright and Mt Buller. Rides are changed
each year to make them different for return customers. Repeat customers are
common with some interstate riders enjoying several tours each year. Numbers are
limited on each tour, maximum 20 with some tours less.

The Food
|
Experienced guides, Parks Vic. accredited, are backed up
by a well equipped 4WD and professional catering crew. Most of the
meals are chef prepared and some riders boast that they come back just for the
food.
|
Equipment
|
Guides sport all the equipment, including the latest
electronic life saving gadgetry from GME. UHF
radios, EPIRB and a GPS can be found on the guides. Guides have in -
helmet comms and can communicate on the hop to vastly improve safety and
efficiency. We carry fully stocked bum bags and will help you with
that flat tyre. Our well kitted back up 4WD carries plenty of fuel
and is equipped with spares we can't carry, like bars, extra tubes and even
radiators.
