RSL Remembrance Ride 2025
9-15 November 2025 - Tallangatta, Victoria
The annual RSL Remembrance Ride began in 2022 to provide an opportunity for veterans to challenge themselves in a mentally supportive environment and ride an iconic trail.

Feedback from past rides:
“The RSL Remembrance Ride has been an outstanding opportunity to cycle with fellow veterans from all services. There was a camaraderie forged as we rode through an amazing variety of tracks and landscapes that left an indelible impression on the riders. An unexpected bonus has been the opportunity to learn the history of different towns from the locals. This ride has been the experience of a lifetime.”
