🌄 Not Your Average Commute
This isn’t a GPS-beeline to Sydney. This is 4 days of winding backroads, high country dirt, and iconic Aussie towns like Tenterfield, Uralla & Gloucester.
Think 300–350 km a day. Mostly dirt. All stunning.
Skip the tar. Chase the thrill.
For years, I raced motorcycles professionally across the globe — from tight technical circuits to wide-open race tracks. I lived for the thrill, the speed, t...

⏳ One Month to Go – Are You In?
The Gold Coast to Sydney 4-day ride kicks off May 7 – and spots are disappearing.
If dirt roads, expert guides, and unforgettable scenery sound like your thing, now’s the time to jump in.
Ready to ride from the Gold Coast to Sydney the epic way? Join us May 7–10 for 4 days of dirt roads, outback towns, and incredible scenery — not the Pacific Highway kind of trip.
✅ Led by world champ Alex Cudlin
✅ Support crew + backup vehicle
✅ Bags transported – you just ride
What a weekend! Our Great Divide Tour kicked off with a bang, taking us across some of the most spectacular roads the Great Dividing Range has to offer.
We tackled the scenic backroads from Taree to Tamworth—a dirt-lover’s dream.
Each day served up a completely different route with a mix of terrain, epic views, and unforgettable moments.
Now it’s time for a quick breather—four weeks off to prep. That means servicing bikes and vehicles, fitting fresh tyres, and loading up the trailers, all in time for our next sold-out tour: Sydney to Gold Coast in May.
But here’s the good news—
We’re running a return leg: Gold Coast to Sydney and we’ve still got around 8 spots left.
So if you’re keen to experience the same thrill, dust, and good vibes—don’t wait.

🚨 NEW TOUR ALERT: The “Plank & Ride” Adventure Tour! 🚨
Think you’ve done it all in the world of adventure riding? Think again. We’re taking motorcycle touring to a whole new level of extreme with our latest offering:
🔥 THE PLANK & RIDE ADVENTURE TOUR! 🔥
This tour isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s for those who seek the purest, rawest form of motorcycle travel—where speed, aerodynamics, and sheer ridiculousness combine for the most outrageous riding experience imaginable.
What’s Included?
✅ Underwear-Only Dress Code – Because bulky gear is just dead weight! Ride free, fast, and fully exposed to the elements. (Sunscreen not included.)
✅ Planking Riding Position – Standard seating is for amateurs. On this tour, you’ll plank on your bike for max aerodynamics. Your abs will thank (or hate) you.
✅ No Luggage Allowed – You can only bring what you can duct tape to your body.
✅ Improved Fuel Economy – With less wind resistance, you’ll slice through the Outback like a human dart.
✅ Exclusive Photoshoot – Because we know you’ll want proof of your commitment to ultimate stupidity.
What to Expect?
🌬️ Extreme wind resistance training – Hold tight, because at 100 km/h, you’ll feel like a human kite.
🌞 100% chance of sunburn – SPF 1000 recommended.
😂 Uncontrollable laughter from passing traffic – Embrace it. You’re now a legend.
🛑 Zero refunds if you get cold feet.
This is next-level adventure touring—for those brave enough to let go of convention (and maybe their dignity).
📢 Spots are LIMITED! (Mostly because no one actually wants to do this.)
APRIL FOOLS!
We’ll stick to proper adventure riding… but if you actually show up like this, we’re definitely putting you on the website.

That’s a Wrap!
Our final day of riding brought us some of the best roads yet.
While the Gammon Ranges were off the cards due to rain, we pulled together all the best bits of the region – and it turned into a brilliant ride.
We wrapped things up at the Hawker Hotel Motel with speeches, a live band, and a big party to celebrate what has been an epic week of riding, adventure, and good times.
And yes — Alex even got on stage for some karaoke, possibly damaging the eardrums of every poor punter within a 10km radius. Worth it for the laughs!
A massive thanks to everyone who joined us on this unforgettable tour.
We’ll be back in 2026 – hope to see you all there!

Another Awesome Day in the Flinders!
I know we keep saying it… but seriously, this place is pure magic.
There are so many great roads out here, it honestly doesn’t matter which direction you take – it’s all gold.
The clients are smashing through the terrain like seasoned pros, and they’re loving every minute of it.
Today’s 300 km ride served up a bit of everything:
Tar, creek beds, open flats, sand, and epic lookouts – it couldn’t have been more fun.
Just one more day to go in this incredible part of the world, and tomorrow, we take on the Gammon Ranges.
Let’s finish strong!

Flinders Ranges Tour – Day 4
What an awesome day of riding! The most common comment from the group?
“That was the best road we’ve ridden so far!”
Of course it was—we knew what we were doing when we picked this route!
Today’s ride had it all: epic scenery, flowing corners, and that feeling you only get when everything just clicks.
Now we’re settling in for another great night at the Hawker Hotel Motel where the food is always top notch and the hospitality is even better. The team here love having us so much, they’re even wearing our tour shirts behind the bar!
Once again, the Flinders Ranges delivers—both on and off the bike

Flinders Ranges Tour – What a Bloody Awesome Day!
We had everything today – creek crossings, ruts, sand, long open roads, tight twisty turns… you name it, we rode it.
Wildlife? We reckon about 10,000 kangaroos, emus, cows, sheep, and goats crossed our path – kept us on our toes, that’s for sure!
We clocked up an epic 400 kilometres of incredible dirt, and it was pure adventure from start to finish.
Now it’s time for a cold beer and a bit of rest before we get back into it tomorrow for more exciting riding.

We hit some incredible roads with endless stretches of dirt and scenery that’s almost impossible to put into words — this place truly has to be experienced to be believed.

Our Flinders Ranges Explorer tour is just over two weeks away!
This tour has been sold out for months, and we have a group of eager riders ready to tackle the incredible roads we’ve lined up.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, three of our team members have spent the last 10 days pre-riding the entire route, covering nearly 4,000 kilometers including miles spent in the car. We’ve been checking road conditions, fine-tuning the plan, and making sure everything is set for an unforgettable adventure.
This is the level of dedication and preparation we put into every tour—going the extra mile (literally!) so our riders can enjoy a seamless, stress-free experience.
It’s the behind-the-scenes work that most people don’t realize when they book with a dedicated tour company like ours—but it makes all the difference once you’re on the road!

Alex Cudlin’s love for the great outdoors was built from a very young age, having grown up on a small farm in Australia with his parents and an older brother and sister.
After completing his apprenticeship as a motorcycle mechanic in his parent’s country motorcycle dealership, at just 18 years of age, Alex moved to Europe to follow his dream and become a professional motorcycle racer.
He competed in the World Endurance Championships all over Europe,Asia and Middle East, becoming World Champion in 2010.
Alex lived and raced in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, for a total of 12 years.
Throughout this journey of traveling the world racing motorcycles, Alex’s love for mountain biking and hiking grew.
Using it as part of his training regime for his motorcycle racing career, Alex cycled roads in Qatar (Middle east), pedalled the hills of the French Alps, Mountain biked in England and Scotland, trekked the mountain region of Lebanon, hiked the hills of Switzerland, walked the roads of India, and visited monuments in Indonesia and many other countries throughout his travels.
Alex then returned to Australia and decided to start an adventure company that brought together those 3 loves - Motorcycles, Mountain biking and Hiking.
Alex has a wealth of experience and expertise and wants to share his love of these 3 pursuits and the beautiful Australian scenery where he grew up with other people.
