This Event is Open to All Makes and Models of Adventure Bikes
Come and ride with us on the Central Coast. RideADV have been setting the standard for over 10 years now. Check our reviews – the original “Introduction to Adventure Riding” professionals.
FREE camping both nights at the event!
Saturday night includes a FREE BBQ and Q&A in the RideADV Workshop!
The team at RideADV have years of experience in all areas of motorcycling – specialising in Adventure Riding. It’s time we shared that knowledge and helped grow our sport. With this in mind, and with the ongoing support of Yamaha Australia and all our other valued sponsors, we are proud to present another Introduction to Adventure Riding Series event for 2027.
These rides are suitable for all types of Adventure bikes, all brands, all models and all rider skill levels. These rides are designed for those that are new to adventure riding and are wanting to learn the right way to do it safely. And for those wanting to brush up on their skills and knowledge.
These events have RideADV’s own Greg “TB” Yager, Mick “Strongy” Strong, Brett “Chicken” Gattera, Penny, and Abbey the Sweep. TB, Strongy & crew have over 150 years cumulative between them and have a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and bike setup advice to share when it comes to off-road riding. TB’s younger years were spent on a farm riding before racing motocross, enduros, rally events and organising adventure rides for friends all over Aus.

Here is what Jay said about a recent Intro he attended.
Jay Cowan
“Absolute class outfit. The Ride ADV crew took us in as one of their own. With a solid mix of experience amongst them, we were never left wanting. Some periodic stopping on day 1 to show everyone techniques and drills to pratice helped instill confidence for beginners. Running the cornerman system there were lead and sweep riders so navigation was taken care of, and with rider safety at the forefront they ensured we all got through the weekend and back to our families. Perfect conditions throughout the weekend topped it off. Well done Ride ADV, I’ll be seeing you again.”
