We’re focused crafting self-guided motorcycle routes for riders who love exploring Australia by bike. As well as being a one stop spot to find routes to follow from all over Australia.

We aim to take the hassle out of planning an adventure, so you can just pack your bike and go.

Anyone who has a bike and license and wants hassle-free adventures, from beginners to experts. Whether you’re a local looking for a weekend escape or a tourist exploring Australia, we’ve got a route for you.

Our routes are predominantly what we would consider Grade 1 to Grade 3 rides.

However, we don't specifically grade our routes unless we have personally ridden them recently or a fellow rider have done the same and let us know what it was like.

But, what does that mean...??

• Grade 1: Easiest

  • Conditions: Bitumen roads, wide flat gravel roads, all-weather surfaces.

  • Who’s It For?: Perfect for beginners or riders looking for a relaxed cruise. Think smooth highways or easy gravel roads—ideal for a stress-free ride.

• Grade 2: Easy

  • Conditions: Narrow, twisty, bumpy bitumen roads; gravel roads with all-weather surfaces, some hills, easily avoided obstacles (e.g., rocks, potholes), tight corners.

  • Who’s It For?: Great for riders with some experience who enjoy a bit of challenge but still want manageable conditions.

• Grade 3: Medium

  • Conditions: Narrow gravel roads and twin tracks, moderate slopes, loose rocky surfaces, shallow creek crossings (<300mm), some avoidable obstacles.

  • Who’s It For?: Suited for intermediate riders ready for varied terrain and a bit of adventure, but nothing too extreme.

• Grade 4: Difficult

  • Conditions: 4WD tracks with long steep hills, poor traction surfaces, many unavoidable obstacles (e.g., sand, rocks, logs), river crossings (up to 600mm, knee-deep).

  • Who’s It For?: For advanced riders who thrive on challenging terrain and are prepared for obstacles that test their skills.

• Grade 5: Very Difficult

  • Conditions: Technically challenging, very tight or single tracks, very steep hills, high fitness/technique required, possible bike damage, higher risk of injury.

  • Who’s It For?: Expert riders only! This grade demands top-notch skills, fitness, and a bike built for the toughest conditions.

Bear in mind that all roads will become more challenging in poor weather condition, or if they have not been maintained recently.

Motorcycle riding and in particular adventure riding is a inherently dangerous sport. Adventure Rides take no responsibility if you find yourself on routes that are harder than you expected or for any injury or damaged to bikes or property under any circumstances.

If the route has no grade, it just means that we have not ridden it recently enough to be confident in supplying one. Or we have not had another rider inform us of its condition.

So as always, ride at at you own risk.

Our routes are adventure based and as such they include both tar and dirt roads. So you will need a bike that is registered and capable of riding on the dirt, big bikes like BMW R1200GS all the way down to small capacity road registered trail bikes like a Yamaha WR250.

Absolutely! If you’ve got a favourite ride, send the file to us via email at snailmoto@adventurerides.com.au

Routes should be 95% finished and ridden within the last 6 months. Or just suggest somewhere that great to ride and we will see if we can slot it into our routes!

We design routes to be as safe as possible, but riding involves risks (e.g., road hazards, weather). You’re responsible for riding within your skill level and checking conditions. Our Terms of Service outline that Adventure Rides isn’t liable for accidents or injuries.

Not a lot really...

• A registered motorcycle in good condition that can ride on and off road.

• A smartphone or GPS device for navigation.

• Safety gear: helmet, gloves, jacket, etc...

• and a sense of adventure!

We rely on contributors and our team to keep routes accurate, but things can change. If you encounter outdated info, let us know at snailmoto@adventurerides.com.au, and we’ll update the route.

It is always worth checking the relevant live traffic websites and weather reports before departure to see if any of the roads have been closed or affected.

When click on a route and try to view its details and you end up on a page with the error "The page you are looking for does not exist".

To view a route off the map you need to be a premium site member, not just a free member.

If you are a premium site member and followed the emailed instruction on how to join our Ride With GPS page, then it probably means that you have not signed into Ride with GPS. Just click on the login button in the top right of the screen to log in and it will then display the route.

OR

If you have an account, and are signed in, but haven't become a member of our page yet then the error will also appear.

If you know your way around various route planning software then it is fairly straight forward to do once you download a GPX file.

Otherwise our Explorer Memberships ($49 per year) include personal support for modification just like this. Upgrade you membership today!
