The 2024 Great Escape Adventure Weekend Registration is now OPEN.

Join EVADRS for an adventure riding weekend, September 06 - 08, 2024.

With endless stunning adventure terrain in the Elk Valley, we have selected a few of the classic routes for the 2024 Great Escape Adventure Weekend. All ride loops are 175 - 225 km long, approx. 4 - 6 hours at a safe pace, including stops. There are NO fuel points on any of the routes so riders with smaller tanks will need to carry extra fuel. We recommend being prepared for 250 km, fully self sufficient in terms of fuel, spares parts, tool kit, packed food, drinks and suitable clothing for mountain exploring.

EVADRS will provide GPS routes so participants can choose to explore with their own group or are welcome to join a group with a ride leader. There will be a few different groups to choose from.

All motorbikes must be street legal and while all ability levels are welcomed, a basic gravel road riding skill level is required.

Saturday will be a full day of riding and Sunday a shorter day. The routes will be on display at the Meet and Greet. The EVADRS Directors will be there to answer any questions. Participants can select the rides most suited to them based on duration, difficulty and distance.

The 2023 Great Escape Adventure Weekend was a great success with incredible, sunny riding days spent exploring scenic mountain routes followed by an evening of delicious food and stories of the days adventures. The event is restricted to 50 participants so please register as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
