WA State Rider Leg

16th - 20th August 2015

Join dozens of West Aussie motorbike riders embarking upon a 2000+km epic riding journey for a great cause! WA State Riders will depart from the Swan Valley on 16th August for a 2000+km cruise for a cause close to our hearts.

Before registering, please read the Ride FAQs here and read an important message from the Founder of Black Dog Ride here.

State Riders must register online, they must join the ride at the beginning, and must travel with their group until the designed end point of the ride.

Registrations close on June 10th. No registrations will be accepted during the ride for safety, catering and logistical reasons.

Registered State Riders will receive commemorative Black Dog Ride to the Red Centre cloth patch and stickers in their Rider's Kit which will be dispatched in late July.
