Variety Adventure Riders spend night in Bathurst ahead of final leg | Video

The riders were making their way back to Goulburn, the same city they left five days earlier for an adventure that took in regional centres including Narooma, Bega, Comma, Tumut, Yass, Cowra and Bathurst.

Event organiser Vic Sheil said each of the participants had raised at least $2000 to support the work of Variety and the ride was a "reward" for their efforts.

"We don't use the ride itself as a fundraiser; rather, we feel spending money in all the towns we visit is a great bonus for local communities who may have been doing a little tough over the past year or so," Mr Sheil said.

"When you add up the petrol, the food and a few beers at night it comes to quite a bit of money we're putting back into these towns."

Mr Sheil said he had been involved in Variety fundraisers for almost 30 years and had worked with the charity as an employee for the past 20.

He said he had been hooked by the work Variety did to support disadvantaged families.

"The trips are always great fun but there is also that knowledge that you're helping a lot of people," he said.

"The main focus is to ensure that every kid gets a fair go.

"Some families can't afford a laptop for each kid so we might help them out ensure they can; if there are mobility issues that the NDIS doesn't look after we can top that up."

Variety was founded in 1928.
