While at this stage all of the OTR rides are essentially enduro off-road riding, there are many members who organise adhoc rides through our Facebook page or group emails. Because clearly one ride a month is not enough to fill the adrenalin void or the need to hang it on your mates. These rides, while not sanctioned by OTR are generally run in a very similar manner, with lead rider and sweeper rider organised.

In recent years there has also been a growing list of OTR members who have purchased larger adventure orientated bikes. While at this stage OTR has no plans to run adventure rides, the members who do enjoy adventure riding do organise, weekend, 5 day and 10 day rides through out the year. These are run completely independent to OTR but are enjoyed by active OTR members.

Meeting nights are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 6pm for dinner at the Barwon Club Moorabool St Geelong. The OTR meeting starts at 7pm, where we will run through upcoming rides, general business and someone will give an summary of the previous months ride. Meetings are generally finished by 8:30. a very relaxed environment as we socialise and watch some DVD’s of events.

Otway Trail Riders hold at least one monthly ride for each month from February to November. These rides are held at various locations around Victoria and sometimes interstate. Many of the rides and one day rides but a number are held over two days. Generally our rides are suitable for “intermediate” rider skill, we ride in all conditions and require all members to have a fully registered motorcycle.
