The Aussie Bike or Hike Kickstarter is a two-day adventure riding course in Australia for people getting into adventure riding, even those just getting their licence.
Alex invited me to film the event, and Chris enjoyed her first tour.
The event combines tuition and a tour. The first half of the first day is drills to cement basic adventure riding techniques. The little things that make riding these bikes easier and more enjoyable.

The 200 km route took the long way back to Taree via a few spots familiar to anyone who has watched the Sydney to Gold Coast series.
Adventure riding often involves pushing yourself just outside your comfort zone, so we headed up a slightly more exciting path.
We stopped for lunch at the stunning Ellenborough Falls. At 200 metres, it’s one of the highest single-drop waterfalls in Australia. Once we’d topped up our food tanks, we headed back south to Taree.
