The VCL Compliance Ride Program is designed to prepare riders for the demands of long-distance, overnight, multi-day riding.
Through structured preparation and real-world riding experience, the program ensures riders are ready to confidently progress to any D2 or D3 (away) Deluxe Ride.
You will gain first hand experience in pre-ride preparation, planning, and the commitment required for multi-day adventures.
Compliance Rides test your pre-ride preparation across 5 x 300+ km ride days. Each ride is treated as if it were part of a 4-day Deluxe Ride.

info@vcl.net.auโ Preparation needs to be taken seriously when riding with others on a group ride.
โ Riding 300+ kilometres per day over multiple consecutive days is both physically and mentally demanding.
โ More than basic riding ability โ riders must be prepared, focused, resilient, and capable of managing fatigue and changing weather and riding conditions.
