As we embark on this extraordinary ride, our team is meticulously organised to enhance your experience.

Fear not the complexities of navigation, as "The Great Divide Ride" operates on a "Corner Man" System. No need to invest in expensive GPS units as other adventure companies require – we've got you covered, making navigation a breeze.

After conquering thrilling terrain, we'll rest our weary heads in Tamworth, the vibrant home of the Big Golden Guitar and the lively Long Yard Hotel. These iconic landmarks are the perfect backdrop for unwinding, sharing tales of the day's adventure, and preparing for the excitement of day two.
