More than 40 riders and two trucks took part in the journey from The Pub in West Tamworth to Manilla and back on Saturday.
With much of the region experiencing flooding, there were a few detours, but the rain held off for the majority of the trek, with only a few showers.
Organiser Brendon Clarke told the Leader while attendance was down on previous years, it was a great day.

"Numbers were down as you would expect with the weather."
