What a route we have planned! While the BIG BORE is designed with bigger bikes in mind. As mentioned before, all adventure and small bore bikes are welcome! We will be taking in some legendary tracks and trails on this route and iconic locations like Mount Buffalo and Craig’s Hut. We also have in store a few tracks that will showcase the High Country to its fullest! Grab your adventure bike, big or small, and ride with mates old and new on moderate flowing trails perfect for all skill levels with some dirt experience. Ride conditions may vary, but our routes on the Big Bore are designed to accommodate most riders. However, this will be a moderate flowing ride suitable for most riders who have ridden some level of dirt before. We will have some tracks that may be rocky and steep, but nothing a stock standard 4×4 couldn’t drive.

(*Conditions of the ride may be unpredictable and vary due to weather, road conditions, and rider ability.) If you want some skills training prior to the event, we can recommend several ADV skills courses and will be looking to work with our ride partners to help you with that too.

Accommodations & Meals

Yes, accommodations are included in the price. Twin-share 4-5 star digs are offered in the entry fee. Accommodations will generally be 2-3 to a room with your own bed in a hotel/apartment/2-bedroom apartment setup. There will be one night where there may be up to 3 sharing an apartment due to the location where we will be riding and staying in the Victorian High Country. There are 20x single supplement rooms also available, should you wish to have your own room (additional cost). This year, we have planned for 6x Breakfasts included in your entry fee at most venues (TBA).

There will be two group dinners included in your registration fee, which includes the first night, where we do an overall brief on the upcoming ride, handle any last-minute technical issues with loading your GPS files, and get to meet the crew and guests. By popular demand from our 2025 edition, we will have the now famous carpark dinner party! Food, drinks and a great vibe to really break the ice and bring everyone together! Also, there will be a final dinner at the end of the ride where we draw the major prizes and all pat each other on the back, share war stories and quite possibly share a few brews. During the ride, there will be some group meetings and rider briefings each morning at venues to be announced. Some of these venues will offer dinner at the rider’s own expense. At no dinner will alcohol be included in the registration fee.
