2026 Ural Adventure Ride - Postponed to 2027
Unfortunately, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel our 2026 Ural Adventure Ride planned for 11th to 13th September due to insufficient numbers who have registered with us for the ride. Without sufficient numbers, it’s difficult to justify holding the ride.
We understand this has disappointed many of our Ural adventure riders.
All is not lost though. The good news is that a considerable amount of work has already gone into planning the ride, including putting together what we think is a fantastic route. Rather than lose all that work, we’ve decided to hold the route over and use it for next year’s Ural Adventure Ride.
We think it will be well worth the wait.
Considerable effort, time and money have been invested in developing and planning this route specifically for the Ural Adventure Ride. As the official event has been postponed rather than abandoned, we would like to keep the route under wraps until next year so that everyone attending the 2027 Ural Adventure Ride gets to experience it together as intended.
And having seen what’s planned, we can tell you this much - next year’s Ural Adventure Ride should be amazing!
Of course, there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from organising their own ride this year, and we certainly encourage everyone to get out and enjoy their Urals. We simply ask that the route developed for the Ural Adventure Ride, is respected and left for next year’s official event.
We hope everyone understands this.
And if you do still do your own ride this year, please share your photos and adventures with us so we can share it with the wider Ural community for all to enjoy.
Thanks for your understanding, and we look forward to getting everyone together again next year.

Plans are in the making for our 2026 Ural Adventure Ride - POSTPONED to 2027
Our Ride planners Mat and Greg have been busy studying maps and checking the course.
Most will gather Thursday afternoon/evening in Uralla, then Friday morning, we’ll leave from Walcha, riding a variety of roads before arriving in Gloucester during the afternoon. Gloucester will be our base Friday and Saturday nights.
There’s a variety of roads, some are sealed, some are dirt with quite a few water crossings thrown in! There are some hilly sections, nothing too challenging.
More great roads to explore and spectacular scenery to see as always!

Ural Test Ride Days
Ural Test Ride Days are a great way to learn more about sidecar riding in a safe environment. These are held generally twice a year, in the autumn and spring.
- Hear the theory of sidecar riding
- This is a great opportunity for inexperienced riders who possibly have never ridden a sidecar outfit to learn some basic skills in a safe environment.
Theory and opportunity to try
- Explanation of the handling dynamics to understand its behaviour relative to driving it
- Steering practice around marker cones to familiarise with direct steering as opposed to indirect steering used on all two wheeled bikes
- Braking (there‘s more to it than you think)
Experience the pleasure of sidecar riding and the thrill of adventure which will leave you wanting to do it all over again!
Requirements:
Open Bike License (please bring)
Waiver/indemnity to sign
