DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]🏍️ South Coast 3-Day Navigation Adventure Ride – April 2027 \n🌟 ALL NEW ROUTES\, OPEN TO ALL BIKES = AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE\nThis ride is open to all brands and makes of adventure motorcycles. \nRideADV and Yamaha Australia proudly present three magnificent days of South Coast adventure riding\, starting and finishing in Nowra\, NSW. \nFor 2027 we’ve put together a new three-day format taking riders from Nowra to Batemans Bay\, a full loop south from Batemans Bay incorporating new tracks and some of the premium riding used during the 2026 Yamaha Ténéré Rally\, before an all-new route brings us back to Nowra on Monday. \nThis is a GPS navigation adventure ride. You’re not stuck riding in a line or sitting in somebody else’s dust all day. Follow the supplied GPS tracks\, ride at your own pace and enjoy the adventure with your mates. \nEach day will offer two route options where conditions and terrain allow: \nStandard Route – Designed for larger adventure bikes and riders looking for spectacular ADV riding without the more technical challenges. \nSpecial Route – More technical terrain for smaller bikes or competent riders on larger adventure bikes looking for some extra spice. \nYou can choose the route that best suits you and change between Standard and Special routes throughout the event. \nBoth routes are supported by our experienced RideADV Sweep Crew\, medically trained support riders and support vehicles\, with satellite communications and tracking capability throughout the event. \nPlease note: A minimum 250 km fuel range is required for this ride. \nAnd yes – we carry your luggage! \nAccommodation options include pubs and motels\, allowing you to choose the style and budget that suits you. \nIt’s still Your Ride\, Your Adventure – we’re just there to keep you on track and help you get safely to the finish. \nThis ride is for intermediate to experienced adventure riders. \n💰 How Much? – Tickets for the 2027 South Coast 3-Day Adventure Ride are $575 – an increase of just $35 from last year. Given the rising costs and current economic climate\, we’ve worked hard to keep the increase to a minimum and believe $575 represents exceptional value for three full days of professionally organised and fully supported adventure riding. \n✅ What’s Included \nFully Connected Crew – riders\, vehicles and staff tracked and linked for improved safety and rapid response. \nPremium Rider Routes – custom-built using decades of real-world adventure riding and route knowledge. \nGPS Setup & Support – tracks loaded or supplied\, with navigation support throughout the event. \nSupport Riders & Mechanics – experienced crew on bikes carrying tools and spares\, with multiple mechanically experienced crew members. \n4WD Backup & Recovery – purpose-built support vehicles\, trailers\, recovery equipment and remote-area first aid capability. \nMedical Coverage – medically trained crew on-route throughout the event. \nModern Safety & Communications – tracking\, satellite communications and connected support systems. \nLuggage Transport – we carry your luggage between overnight locations. \nThe Original Industry Leaders – nearly 15 years of delivering professionally organised adventure rides across Australia. \n📋 What’s Not Included \nFuel \nMeals \nAccommodation \nPersonal expenses \n📅 Friday\, 16th April 2027 – Sign-On & Riders Briefing\nLocation: Archer Hotel\, Nowra \nSign-On: 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM \nRiders Briefing: 7:30 PM outside at the Archer Hotel \nSign-on will be held at the Archer Hotel in Nowra from 3:00 PM.

Expect a full day incorporating forest trails\, twin tracks\, flowing gravel roads\, fire trails\, climbs\, valleys and classic South Coast terrain as we work our way through the Shoalhaven and into the Eurobodalla region. \nBoth Standard and Special options will give riders a proper day on the bike\, with the Special route adding more technical sections for those looking for an additional challenge. \nWe finish the afternoon in Batemans Bay\, where we will base ourselves for the next two nights. \n🛏️ Batemans Bay Accommodation – Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th April \nArgyle Terrace Motor Inn – 32 Beach Road\, Batemans Bay – Argyle Terrace Motor Inn website \nQuays Hotel – 60 Beach Road\, Batemans Bay – Quays Hotel website \nZorba Waterfront Motel – 15 Orient Street\, Batemans Bay – Zorba Waterfront Motel website \nYou will require Batemans Bay accommodation for TWO nights – Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th April. \nRiders are responsible for booking their own accommodation.

Day 3 features new tracks and a different route back to Nowra\, giving riders another complete day of South Coast adventure riding. \nExpect more forests\, back-country trails\, flowing gravel\, remote valleys and sections of classic NSW South Coast terrain as we work our way north. It’s a proper final day rather than just a transport stage\, finishing the three-day adventure back where we started in Nowra. \n⚠️ IMPORTANT RIDER INFORMATION \nPlease remember to sign out every morning and sign back in at the completion of every day’s ride. This is critical to our rider tracking and safety systems. \n🥾 BOOTS ARE MANDATORY – For your safety and protection\, MX motocross or Enduro-style boots with proper ankle support are mandatory. We do not accept soft adventure boots. We have seen too many injuries caused by boots that simply do not provide sufficient protection or support. If you are unsure whether your boots meet the requirement\, contact TB before the event on 0499 089 715. \n🛞 TYRES ARE MANDATORY \nAll motorcycles must be fitted with a minimum 80% off-road / 20% road tyre. This is not negotiable. South Coast conditions can change quickly\, and the correct tyres can be the difference between enjoying the ride and struggling all weekend. If you are unsure about your tyres\, call TB – 0499 089 715 before the event. \n⛽ FUEL RANGE \nA minimum 250 km fuel range is required. Fuel availability can change\, particularly in regional areas\, so riders must refuel at the recommended locations even if they believe they have enough fuel to continue. \n🔧 TUBES & TYRE REPAIRS \nUltra or Heavy-Duty tubes are recommended. If you are running tubeless tyres\, we strongly recommend carrying a suitable tube when a damaged or bent rim prevents the tubeless system from holding air. If you are running tubeless please make sure you have a plug kit. It is our recommendation that you fit tubes. Based on our extensive experience riding off-road\, we firmly believe tubeless tyres have no place in serious off-road adventure riding. \n🚑 AMBULANCE COVER \nAmbulance cover is strongly recommended. \n🧭 GPS & NAVIGATION \nThis is a GPS navigation ride. RideADV will supply the tracks for each day’s riding and assist with loading compatible GPS units. Riders using tablets or navigation apps will be supplied with the relevant GPX files. \n⚠️ IMPORTANT – BACK UP YOUR GPS BEFORE THE EVENT \nPlease back up any existing tracks or routes that you wish to keep. We need sufficient free space on your GPS to load the RideADV tracks and routes. We strongly prefer riders to arrive with a Garmin cleared of unnecessary old tracks and routes. \nRideADV cannot be responsible for existing tracks that need to be removed to create sufficient space or prevent confusion during the event. \nFor best results\, we recommend: \n\nTrack-Up orientation\n3D mode OFF\nRoute recalculation OFF\nSufficient free track space available before sign-on\n\n🏆 Ride With Australia’s Premier Adventure Tour Company \nFor nearly 15 years\, RideADV has been delivering professionally organised\, fully supported adventure rides through some of the best riding country in Australia. This three-day South Coast event combines new routes\, premium South Coast terrain\, proven Yamaha Ténéré Rally tracks\, full RideADV support and two nights based in Batemans Bay. \nIt’s what we do. \nYour Ride. Your Adventure. \n📞 Questions?  \nContact TB – 0499 089 715 \nEmail: info@rideadv.com.au \nFinal route distances and event details will be confirmed following the pre-run.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
