The Great Divide 2 Day Ride
Join us for the ultimate riding experience on "The Great Divide Ride", a thrilling two-day event that starts from our Fine Line training centre in Taree. Sign-on is at 7:30am and we ride out at 8am. We cross Australia's awe-inspiring Great Dividing Range, through the Barrington Tops, open farmland, subtropical rainforest and rolling plains.
Every road on this adventure is a council-gazetted road: no single tracks or jumps. Our commitment to safety and enjoyment is paramount.
No need for expensive GPS units: the ride runs on a "Corner Man" system, so navigation is a breeze.
The route
Start and finish at the Fine Line training centre, Lot 41 Whitbread Street, Taree NSW 2430, with free overnight car and trailer parking if you trailer your bike to the start.
Taree to Tamworth
We climb from Taree across the Great Dividing Range on gazetted dirt roads and scenic lookouts, via Nowendoc, finishing in Tamworth, home of the Big Golden Guitar.
Tamworth back to Taree
Another chapter of breathtaking scenic lookouts, adrenaline-pumping dirt roads and light-hearted adventure as we make our way back to Taree by a different route, returning via the Barrington Tops.
About 300 km a day, around 600 km in total. Sign-on 7:30am, riders leave at 8am. Our aim is for the ride not to test you physically but to be enjoyable while still covering a decent distance. If the distance is too far, the backup vehicle can take you to the final destination.
