The Rides

Zoo2Zoo offers a number of rides through out the year. If you are new to Zoo2Zoo and are considering joining us on a ride, hopefully this page gives you a bit more detail on what to expect.

To start with, all of the rides are fully supported with a number of safety vehicles and support crew on hand to make sure all riders get from the start to the finish. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided each day along with multiple snack / hydration / rest breaks.

Accommodation may vary from cabins to lovely Country motels. We try to accommodate as best we can always supporting the small townships we ride through. Your luggage will be transported each day by the support crew between destinations.

Something really important to understand about Zoo2Zoo rides - they are not a race! The main goal is to raise funds and awareness for Black Dog Institute and mental health research. Riders are encouraged to work together whilst on the road to make sure no-one is left behind - the aim is to have fun, ride safely and enjoy some good company at the end of a long day of riding.

Also note, that the registration fee payable by the rider covers the full cost of the ride. This ensures that every dollar donated to a Zoo2Zoo ride and rider goes directly to the Black Dog Institute!

If you are interested in riding with us or have some more questions, please feel free to email us at info@zoo2zoo.com.
