The Farrider Values

F – Fairness

Treat every rider with courtesy, impartiality and consistency, that is friend and stranger alike. Honour the commitments made and when circumstances require change, communicate openly and consult those affected wherever practicable.

A – Accountability

Own actions, decisions and contributions to community. Accept responsibility and learn from experience. Build confidence in one another and in FarRiders itself.

R – Respect

Value people with different experience, opinions and ambitions. Listen generously, disagree respectfully and encourage others to enjoy the ride in their own way.

R – Responsibility

Individually be responsible for your riding, your preparation and your safety. Ride within limits, obey the law and make sound decisions on the road.

I – Integrity

Be honest in conduct, ride documentation and dealings with others. Represent achievements truthfully and respect the verification process. Integrity gives every recognised ride its value.

D – Discovery

Embrace the spirit of exploration and lifelong learning. Seek new roads, new experiences and opportunities to develop your skills and broaden your horizons. Discovery is what turns distance into adventure.

E – Excellence

Strive to be the best rider, organiser and community member you can be. Pursue continual improvement rather than perfection, and share your knowledge with others. Excellence raises the standard for everyone.

R – Resilience

Conditions change. Plans change. Weather changes. Adapt, learn and keep moving forward safely. Know the signs of fatigue, deteriorating conditions and impaired judgement, and have the wisdom to pause or stop. The strongest decision may be not to finish, but to recover and ride another day.

S – Stewardship

Leave FarRiders stronger than you found it. Protect its reputation, support its people and preserve its history for those who follow.
