Each year, the Variety Adventure Ride brings together riders from every walk of life to head offroad all in the name of charity. One of Variety's iconic motoring events, the Adventure Ride turns adrenalin into real impact.
This year, the event will take place from 13 to 18 September with the 6-day event delivering the perfect balance of exhilaration and exploration. Riders experience dirt roads, mateship, and the immense satisfaction of visiting children in rural and remote Australian communities who benefit from the funds raised from this event.
The Adventure Ride is the ultimate opportunity to explore Australia from the back of your bike on routes well beyond the confines of your day-to-day commute. You'll adventure beyond the map, delivering grants and resources to schools and communities along the way.
As a long-time participant of the annual Adventure Ride, General Manager - Salvage, Nick Johnson, is gearing up for the 2026 event and will be flying the Pickles flag along the winding tracks. If you are interested in taking the solo road or want to take a team of mates on this great Aussie adventure, there are just three simple steps to join the cause.

Thanks to the riders who fundraise for the event, children across Australia are given access to medical care, community support, opportunities, and resources that are desperately needed.
