About Us
Con Thermos (Owner and Operator) has been trail riding in this country since the early 80's. The day after he learnt to change gears on his own, he was out the gate and up the road for his first adventure. As a teenager, Con loved bringing his mates up to the 'farm' to go riding. “Everyone who comes here loves the riding, the awesome terrain with year round wet tracks and challenging hills, not to mention Lorne and the surf Coast just down the road”.
Con's early organizational experience included running many motorcycle club trail rides and club championship events for the M.C.R.C.V. In the late 1990s Con raced state level off-road championships, and won his class in 2000, his personal highlight was representing Victoria on the Senior trophy team at the 2001 Australian 4-day Enduro in New Zealand. In 2005 Con turned his 25 years of Otway track knowledge and experience combined with his passion for the sport into a commercial trial bike tour operation starting with 1 and 2 day "trail" style tours in the Otways.
