Phillip Island Ride 2021

This will be subject to COVID19 Situation and current Health Directions at the time of the ride. Which are being monitored.

Black Dog Ride's Phillip Island Ride 2021 aims to start a conversation about depression and suicide prevention around the country. Help us get the country talking and join us on this exciting ride to Phillip Island.

We have start points in Port Macquarie NSW (North Western) and Anglesea VIC (Victorian).

Black Dog Ride has a history of visiting areas that are doing it tough to raise awareness of depression and suicide prevention. This ride continues that tradition. Aside from our message, there is a side benefit - motorbike riders spend money to do these treks, benefiting the economies of the towns and cities. With that in mind, our aim this year is to ride through bush fire impacted communities and show them they are valued.

What else is in it for you? A chance to get on your two wheels with mates, ride the twistiest roads we can muster on the way down, go for some laps on the best motorbike track in the world, and then watch the experts show us how it's done over the weekend.
