What is the Variety Adventure Ride?

A 6 day off-road trip for your adventure bike.

Join an adventure like no other - 6 days of dirt trails, mountain tracks and a full support crew all while raising funds to help kids in need. This event will take you on the roads your adventure motorbike was designed for.

The Variety Adventure Ride is an opportunity to explore remote areas up in the mountains on your adventure motorbike. It is not about racing or a contest of speed. It’s about great adventure riding with mates.

We have created a ride that you will really enjoy, taking you to off the beaten tracks, delivering a great mixture of scenery and challenging riding.

Our famous Motoring Events give participants the chance to explore places that aren’t always on the map and give thousands of dollars in grants to local schools and organisations for much needed equipment and resources. During the Variety Adventure Ride you will experience firsthand the impact your fundraising can make on the lives of kids in rural and remote communities.

The Difference You'll Make

Thanks to fundraisers, like our dedicated adventure riders, we can help ensure that all children across Australia have access to the same opportunities regardless of ability or circumstance. 

The work we do gives children the opportunity to improve mobility, gain freedom and get involved in their community, where they can better communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem.
