Kick start your adventure riding
Dust off your helmet and brace yourself for a weekend that will kick start your adventure riding skills! Have you recently completed your Ls or Ps and are itching to get on the dirt? Perhaps you're a seasoned rider, but the thought of solo adventures leaves you with butterflies in your stomach. Fine Line Rider Training and Aussie Bike or Hike have the perfect antidote: the Adventure Kick Start Tuition/Tour.
Crafted for dirt newbies by the pros, this two-day off-road adventure is designed as a light adventure, suitable for novice riders on any size bike. It isn't merely a "riding course" or a "tour": it's the best of both worlds. There's no single track or enduro-type riding.
The route
Start and finish at Fine Line Rider Training, 41 Whitbread Street, Taree NSW 2430.
Taree to Gloucester
The adventure begins at our 10 acre dedicated motorcycle training facility in Taree, with half a day honing your skills on the dirt: standing and sitting, skids, emergency stops and more. Lunch is supplied, then we tour stunning backroads, a blend of dirt and tar with breathtaking lookouts, all the way to Gloucester. The evening brings an information session on what gear to wear, tools to carry, tyre plugging and the best emergency equipment.
Gloucester back to Taree
A full day of touring on gazetted dirt roads with minimal tar, where traffic is at a minimum and wildlife and sights are at a maximum. Our instructors/guides coach you on the fly as opportunities arise, with plenty of stops and time for photos before we finish back in Taree.
What's included
Here's what we provide
- Expert guidance from qualified and experienced instructor/guides who are First Aid qualified and carry emergency satellite communication
- Group adventure training at our 10 acre motorcycle riding facility in Taree
- Fully guided tour with lead guide and sweeps
- A 4X4 support vehicle with motorcycle trailer in case of breakdowns, and to carry some of that heavy luggage to make your bike lighter
- Lunch on Day 1 at Fine Line Rider Training
- Car and trailer parking at our Training Centre for anyone trailering their bike to the start
You need to provide
- A legal, registered trail or adventure style motorcycle
- A minimum 50/50 road/dirt tyre (more dirt than road if possible). We proudly endorse the Pirelli Scorpion Rally as a reliable all-rounder
- A motorcycle licence, shown on the day. Ls or Ps are acceptable
- Your food, drink and accommodation at your own expense
- Personal riding equipment such as helmet, jacket etc.
- A sense of fun and light adventure
In capable hands
You'll be expertly guided by Alex Cudlin, 2 times World Champion and 15 times National Champion, with experienced staff as sweep riders to help any riders should they need it.
We will also be backed up by Shane Cudlin, a highly experienced motorcycle trainer with a wealth of industry knowledge. He will be on hand driving the back-up vehicle and trailer, should we have an incident or a rider's bike break down. You can jump in the vehicle and we'll get your bike to the next town so you can organise to have it repaired or picked up.
You won't have to carry your clothes bags or tent (if you decide to camp), as we'll have them in the back-up vehicle. Our guides carry InReach satellite emergency communications and hold first aid qualifications.
