South Australia's riding geography ranges from the tight forested roads of the Adelaide Hills to the epic open spaces of the Flinders Ranges and the quiet coastal loop of the Yorke Peninsula. Roads are generally lightly trafficked and well maintained.
Mountain Pass
Hahndorf, Birdwood and Lobethal form the anchor points of a classic hills loop from Adelaide. Tight forested roads, quality winery stops and excellent surfaces throughout. Perfect for all skill levels on a weekend morning.
Outback Touring
A two-day tour from Port Augusta to Wilpena Pound and back via Quorn and Hawker. Dramatic ochre gorges, sparse outback landscapes and near-empty roads. Fuel planning is essential but the rewards are extraordinary.
Coastal Road
A full circumnavigation of the Yorke Peninsula delivering coastal farmland, fishing villages and wide open roads. Minimal traffic, flat terrain and a relaxed pace make this ideal for touring bikes and learners on longer rides.
Outback Touring
After the short ferry from Cape Jervis, Kangaroo Island offers 450 km of island roads through national parks, limestone caves and coastal cliffs. Wildlife is abundant and roads are lightly used.
Coastal Road
Rolling farmland and coastal cliff roads connecting the Fleurieu Peninsula's eastern and southern shores. Easy, scenic and manageable in length with the Victor Harbor heritage tram as a destination.
