“What an epic ride! I recently did a ride with these guys. They live and breathe all things bikes and put on an awesome ride. The ride was packed full of great bush tracks, water crossings, scenery and everything in between. Not just hours of dirt roads. All the breaks throughout the day were well catered for. From morning coffee’s, hot lunch and arvo beers. Their knowledge of the area and the history of it is very informative and talk about make you laugh! Their organization was on point. Just turned up with riding gear and everything else was sorted.” ~ DAMO
