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.
