Imagine winding through ancient mountain ranges\, navigating rocky creek beds\, riding remote station twin tracks\, crossing vast open plains and exploring spectacular gorges. These are places many Australians will never experience\, let alone explore from the seat of an adventure motorcycle! \nFrom the famous Razorback Lookout overlooking Bunyeroo Valley to Brachina Gorge\, the rugged mountain country surrounding Arkaroola and the endless horizons of the South Australian outback\, there’s plenty to get excited about. And when the riding is finished for the day\, there’s nothing better than sitting around with like-minded riders\, sharing a meal\, enjoying a drink and talking about the adventures you’ve just experienced. \n🔥 NEW TRACKS\, NEW ADVENTURES AND SOME OLD FAVOURITES!\nFor 2027\, we’re changing things up! While we’re returning to the magnificent Flinders Ranges\, this isn’t simply a repeat of our previous events. The RideADV team has been working on significant changes to our previous routes\, incorporating exciting new tracks\, fresh challenges and some absolute favourites from past Flinders adventures. \n📍 Our start and finish base is Peterborough\, South Australia. \nWe’ll gather for sign-on on Sunday 20 June 2027\, head into the ranges on Monday morning and return to Peterborough at the end of day five on Friday 25 June. \n🏕️ Two nights at Hawker and two nights at Arkaroola! \nThis overnight format gives us more time to explore. Our two loop days will be particularly special\, with no need to pack up accommodation and move on each morning. Expect flowing gravel roads\, spectacular gorge trails\, challenging station twin tracks\, rocky climbs and remote outback navigation. \n🏍️ Standard and Special route options will be available on selected days\, allowing riders to choose the level of adventure that best suits their experience. \nNEW TRACKS. OLD FAVOURITES. NEW CHALLENGES. FIVE DAYS OF PROPER OUTBACK ADVENTURE RIDING! \n🏔️ WHY THE FLINDERS RANGES?\nThere’s something very special about the Flinders Ranges. Ancient folded mountains\, deep gorges\, rugged ridgelines and extraordinary rock formations create a landscape that changes constantly as you ride. One minute you’re travelling along a wide-open station track surrounded by endless plains and distant mountains. The next\, you’re riding through a narrow gorge with towering rock walls and ancient creek beds winding through the valley. \n🌿 You’ll see magnificent river red gums\, native pines and spectacular natural colours. \n🦘 Keep an eye out for kangaroos\, emus\, wedge-tailed eagles and the magnificent yellow-footed rock-wallabies. \nThe Flinders Ranges are the traditional country of the Adnyamathanha people. Throughout the region\, you’ll also find reminders of pastoral and mining history\, from old station homesteads and mining settlements to remote stock routes. \nIt’s a region where scenery\, history and riding combine — and we reckon one of the best ways to experience it is on an adventure motorcycle! \n\n\n\n📋 EVENT OVERVIEW – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW\n📅 Ride Dates: Monday 21 – Friday 25 June 2027 \n📝 Sign-On: Sunday 20 June 2027 \n📍 Start and Finish: Peterborough\, South Australia \n🏍️ Duration: Five days of GPS navigation adventure riding \n🌏 Open To: All brands and makes of adventure motorcycles \n🏕️ Overnight Stops: Hawker (two nights) and Arkaroola (two nights) \n🛏️ Accommodation: Camping\, cabins\, caravan parks and motel-style options \n🧭 Navigation: RideADV-prepared GPS routes \n🔥 Route Options: Standard and Special on selected days \n🚚 Event Support: Experienced RideADV crew\, sweep riders\, medical support and dedicated luggage truck \n🔵 Proudly Supported By: Yamaha Australia \n\n\n\n📝 DAY ZERO – SUNDAY 20 JUNE 2027\n📍 SIGN-ON DAY – PETERBOROUGH\, SOUTH AUSTRALIA\n🕛 Sign-On Time: 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm SHARP \n📍 Location: Peterborough – exact venue to be confirmed \nOur adventure begins in Peterborough\, where riders and the RideADV crew will gather before heading into the magnificent Flinders Ranges. \nSign-on and motorcycle scrutineering will take place between midday and 5:00 pm. \n🎁 Every rider will receive: \n\nRideADV rider entry gift bag\nEvent motorcycle stickers\nLimited-edition 2027 RideADV Flinders event T-shirt\n\nOur crew will also check your motorcycle to ensure you’re properly prepared for the conditions and challenges ahead.
