What is the Variety Adventure Ride?

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

Fire up the adventure bike and get ready for the perfect balance of exhilaration and exploration. Join us for a fully-supported, premium event that delivers dirt roads, tracks and trails for six days.

The Variety Adventure Ride has been designed for adventure riders ready to take their bikes where they belong - onto mountain tracks, forest backroads and coastal hinterland routes. It is not about racing or a contest of speed. It’s about great adventure riding with mates and making an impact on children’s lives along the way.

We have crafted the ultimate opportunity for you to explore mountain tracks, discover regional communities and experience riding well beyond the everyday commute.

Variety's famous motoring events give you the chance to explore places that aren’t always on the map, all while delivering grants to local schools and organisations for much needed equipment and resources. On the Variety Adventure Ride you get to experience firsthand the impact your fundraising can make on the lives of kids in regional and remote communities.

What to Expect

  • Challenging tracks and trails, flowing tarmac, technical bends and ever-changing elevation - perfect for your adventure bike
  • Evenings by the water in some of NSW’s most picturesque seaside towns, providing time to relax, reset and enjoy exceptional regional hospitality
  • Heart-warming experiences and epic memories with your fellow riders
  • A fully supported event run by experienced safety and support crew

Hear from our Riders

"The Variety Adventure Ride is an opportunity to take my motorbike to unique places with amazing scenery, places and roads that I wouldn’t go myself without backup. The fact we are helping kids is the icing on the cake for me. The Adventure Ride is about helping people less fortunate than ourselves, and doing it with a bunch of great people and full support."
Mark Gibson
"Variety's Adventure Ride was epic. I met a great crew of riders and the riding was sensational with challenges for everyone. The event team look after everyone with a full support crew. And it’s for a great cause – the smiles you see on kids faces when you pull into schools are awesome to see."
Cam Smith
