Our adventure kicks off in Hawker, SA, where we'll stay for the entire week. This cloverleaf tour design means you can relax at the same motel each night, making it easy to enjoy each day’s ride without the hassle of packing up and checking out daily. Simply leave your belongings in your room and focus on the ride.

Each day promises a new and thrilling experience, with no corner of the Flinders Ranges left unexplored. Our team at Aussie Bike or Hike has meticulously planned the route to ensure the best possible experience for all riders.

From epic dirt tracks to awe-inspiring landscapes, this is a journey you won’t forget. But it's not just about the ride—we're all about creating lasting memories. Bond with fellow riders as you tackle challenging terrain and discover new destinations together. We've thought of every detail to make sure each rider has an incredible time.

World Endurance Motorcycle Champion Alex Cudlin will guide you as your lead rider.

Participants on this tour will be well taken care of, with Alex Cudlin leading the way and the rest of the riders following. We operate on a "Corner Man" system, which we'll explain during the riders' briefing. We’ll also have a mid-pack sweep rider and a rear sweep rider to assist any riders in need. Plus, Shane Cudlin, a highly experienced motorcycle trainer with extensive industry knowledge, will be driving the support truck and trailer. If a bike breaks down, we'll transport it to the next town for repairs so the tour can continue uninterrupted.

Whether you're new to off-road riding or a seasoned pro, you’re in capable hands. Our guides are equipped with InReach satellite emergency communication devices and are first aid certified, ensuring your safety throughout the trip.

Over the course of this adventure, expect to travel approximately 280-400 kilometres each day, exclusively on gazetted dirt roads with minimal tar. This ride is designed for larger adventure bikes and does not include "single track" or "enduro" type riding.

We strongly recommend using a 70/30 dirt-tar tyre, or even one with more dirt grip, for this adventure. Proper tyres are essential, as even dirt roads can be challenging without the right equipment. We endorse and encourage the use of the MITAS E07 tyre, a reliable all-rounder and the perfect choice for this ride.

We understand that setting out on this adventure can feel intimidating, but with our experienced team and thorough preparation, you can rest assured this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

• Fully guided tour with lead, mid and sweep riders.
• Meticulously planned, pre-ridden, and worked-out route, so all you have to do is follow and relax. Take the stress out of planning an epic trip like this yourself.

• A 4X4 support vehicle that will follow the whole way, with a custom-built trailer that will carry all your luggage, tools, and provide bike transport in case of breakdowns.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PROVIDE

• Accommodation along the trip. You can stay at the same Motel as us or choose your own places to stay. The choice is yours.
• A registered and legal dirt or adventure-type motorcycle with at least 200 km range.
• A motorcycle licence for the type of bike you are riding. A learner's licence is fine.
• A few bike-specific spares such as brake and clutch levers because even a car park tip-over can ruin your ride if you don't have these. Your spare key - a lost key can be game over.
• Have your bike serviced at least a week before the ride and do some k's on it so that everything is ok after the service.
• Suitable tyres that lean towards dirt more than tar. Mitas E07 is a good choice.
• Wet weather gear or waterproof riding apparel.

• Fuel (We will carry a little extra if needed in an emergency or can carry your fuel container for you if you have a small tank).
