Yamaha's Women's Only Adventure Ride

The Yamaha Motor Australia supported RideADV team has continued its run of brilliant events held exclusively for female riders. Its recent North Coast two-day Adventure pitched camaraderie against Mother nature with the unbreakable spirit of the female riders prevailing.

Held in the picturesque off-road region surrounding Nambucca Heads on the NSW North Coast, the weekend-long event started with heavy rain falling on Saturday. However, the women’s spirit for adventure remained unwavering, and the group embraced the coaching and demonstration session conducted by the RideADV crew. Their exceptional performance in the slippery conditions showed they knew how to put their new skills to good use.

The well-planned route saw the group visit the iconic Pub With No Beer at Macksville on the first day with lunch at Willawarren. The highlight of the Saturday night entertainment was the dinner and presentation at the Nambucca Heads RSL.

Raven Saunders won the Yamaha bumbag filled with tools for travelling the furthest distance – all the way from Geelong in Victoria, while Penny and Emily also received recognition for their long journey from Newcastle.

Much to everyone’s relief, Sunday dawned with clear blue skies, and the group ventured north through Bellingen before circling back for a late lunch. A final treat for the ladies was a chance to test their mud-running skills on the Yamaha Rally special loop.

Reflecting on another successful ladies’ event, Greg Yager from RideADV said that his crew had an amazing time with a fantastic group of ladies. “We are incredibly grateful for them coming along,” he said. “Thank you to all the incredible women who joined us for the 2024 North Coast RideADV event. It was a weekend filled with memories, and we can’t wait to see you all again on the next adventure.”
