BIKE REQUIREMENTS
We have certain bike requirements to come on our trips, this is not to exclude anyone it is to ensure a smooth successful trip for all riders. If we allow poorly maintained bikes to come chances are they will brake down in the middle of the high country somewhere, obviously we understand even a brand new bike can brake down but we want to minimise these mechanicals for the enjoyment of all riders on the tour. We do have a support vehicle that can pick up broken down bikes however we will always lose time trying to get bikes running again so the rider does not miss out.
Dirtbikes requirements
-
No bald tyres
-
Heavy duty tubes or moose
-
Ensure chain and sprockets have plenty of life left in them
-
Check wheel bearings don't need to be replaced
-
Check spoke tension
-
Check for leaking fork seals
-
Ensure you have plenty of life left in brake pads
Again this checklist is not to be a pain it is for your own enjoyment, the high country can be unforgiving, we want to get you there and back.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Tour guides have recovery and first aid equipment but we recommend that you also have your own if possible.
We also highly recommend you have current personal and vehicle insurance as our insurance does not cover this.
We highly recommend taking out Vic Ambulance cover if you don't already have it. It is cheap insurance and can be expensive if you are not covered and an ambulance is needed.
Bring the family
There are loads of accommodation options in Port Stephens and surrounds with endless entertainment options and things to do for the family while you’re out getting dirty. We can help with some great recommendations.
