When the going (ride) gets tough, the tough get going (riding), and what better way to demonstrate this than riding beyond Nigeria’s borders.
The International Rider Tour is open to riders interested in cross-border moto touring.
This is the only event that is certified after the tour.
Once you have successfully certified your ride, you will receive a Tough Tourer patch and stickers, and International Rider Tour Pin (at your first certification only), and patches of the countries visited (if ordered).

You will be required to check-in using the TT Camera App if you have registered before your trip. 

Certification costs N20,000.00 along with the added cost of 5,000.00 per country patch as required.

The International Riders Tour is the only Tour that can be certified 2 years in retrospect, provided all required documents are submitted. Tourer will need to provide evidence of border crossings (entry/exit stamp in your international passport), copies of the bike’s international documents along with pictures of you and your bike in the countries you have visited (The pictures should show landmarks or signposts to corroborate your claim 😉)
