The organiser hasn’t published the next date yet, so we’re showing when it normally runs rather than guessing. The official site will have it first.

Checked against the organiser’s official site on 5 September 2026. Dates, routes and entry conditions change — confirm on the official site before booking flights or accommodation. We are not the organiser and take no entries.

Ride Ballarat

15 November 2026
