SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WOMENS TEAM TO THE A4DE – EXPRESSION OF INTEREST!

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN WOMENS TEAM TO THE A4DE – EXPRESSION OF INTEREST!

The South Australian Enduro (Off Road) Committee are looking to send a full contingent of official STATE TEAMS to the 2021 Australian 4 Day Enduro Championships, to be held in Victoria from May 4th to 7th, at Erica.

So, the SA Enduro Committee would like, for the very first time ever, to include a Women’s Team as part of Team SA, so is asking for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to be lodged with the Enduro Sports Manager, Wes Haydon, before the end of 2021 (December 31) – so if you would like to be a part of SA Off Road history, and the three (3) rider team, please send an EOI to; saorc@motorcyclingsa.org.au 

 
Become a part of SA Off Road history, and look to perhaps join the long list of women who have pulled on the green & gold at the ISDE – where Australia are multi-time Women’s World Champions – the dream is real! 

From MA about the event:

Motorcycling Australia (MA) is proud to announce that the Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) is back on the calendar for 2022 where it will be hosted by Victoria’s Dandenong Motorcycle Club at Erica.

Scheduled to be held May 4-7, 2022 the Championship returns to Victoria where it was last hosted in Mansfield back in 2016.

Conceived in 1978, the A4DE is renowned nationally for its fierce competition, as the riders tackle all elements of the off-road terrain over 3 days of traditional enduro battling against the clock and finishing off on day 4 with a spectacular final Motocross.

The Erica location will provide the perfect landscape for the highly anticipated event as it did back in 1987 when it was first hosted in the town. The event will include excellent spectator vantage points, plus easy access from the township.

With the 2022 A4DE to head back to Erica, Frank Gogol of the Dandenong Motorcycle Club commented:

“Many older Enduro enthusiasts will have fond memories of the 1987 A4DE at Erica with the Park Ferme on the edge of the State Forest that contains epic enduro trails in typical Victorian heavily treed gum forests. With the event scheduled for May, the trail conditions should be prime.”

“With the assistance of DELWP (Forests Vic) and Parks Victoria the trails have been approved for use and are vast within the surrounding State Forests. Long trail loops planned with the Park Ferme at the hub of the expansive trail network.

This event will create a significant economic benefit to the surrounding towns, bringing hundreds of competitors, officials and supporters to the region during the four-day event.

So, with this in mind, this weekend sees;

This weekend, tomorrow in fact, sees the 7 round South Australian Reliability Trials Championship kick head into the second half of the season with the Levis MCC’s Gil Harris Reliability Trial, taking place out near Mallala, with the first bike due to leave at 12.01pm, for a 2 lap, 6 hour-ish journey around the region!

Round 5 sees and excellent 115 entries received, which coming after the 24 Hour Trial is great numbers, with the 24 sidecar entries leading the field away. And it’s a high quality field as the battle for Series Champion hots up, led by Robbie 2 Day winner, Zak Tremaine, Damien Jenke and the evergreen, Rowan Pumpa in the outright solo battle to join the Gil Harris honour roll!

The sidecars are also high quality, with ‘hostilities’ from the 24 Hour Trial, between Max & Sam Hutchesson, Mark Launer & Tyson Rohrlach, and Hector Evans & Shaun Buckley sure to continue!

The event is being fully catered by an amazing team from the Mallala Lions Club, who always do an awesome feed for all, so get behind it and grab some great food for a great cause!

Live timing will also be available at this event, head to www.sartchampionship.com, and also grab an event program at Main Control to get the riders list and directions to the spectator areas!

And here is the official welcome from Phil Altschwager, the president of the Levis Motorcycle Club;

Hi All

I would like to welcome you all to this year’s Gil Harris Reliability Trial, which is again starting at Alex and Angela O`Loans property.  We are very grateful and extend our sincere thanks to them for their support and help.  We would also like to thank the landowners who make their properties available to us.  I say it every year but without them, none of this would happen.  I would like to remind everyone to be mindful of their crops (which are not just some green stuff growing in a field) but their livelihood, so stay on the marked course.  Also, be careful on the roads as it is also the local Mallala Council who support us and we thank them also.

Well my friends, this year has seen a considerable improvement on last year (which isn`t that hard as last year basically it didn`t happen) except for a couple of trail rides.  As we have seen over the last couple of weeks, it can turn very quickly, so can I ask you all to adhere to the COVID plan we have in place.  This will be reinforced at all stages of today’s event.  Please follow all the COVID Marshals’ instructions so we can have a great ride in these trying times.

This year has a couple of new sections and unfortunately this has come at the expense of the river section (which I know will not worry some of you if it is a wet one).

If you have family members or friends watching you ride in the competitive sections please advise them not to enter those sections and to watch from the roadside only. This is important not only from a COVID-19 perspective, but also for their safety.

I will not be riding today and wish it was livestreamed so I could watch you all slide around yelling and screaming or maybe that was just me!

Thanks also to Lenny Burman, Steve Martin and Dave Hardaker who have done an awesome job as usual in getting this event marked and a shout out to Mark and Jonathon Zussino and Jon and Cameron Caruso for their help also.

As we all know, none of these events happen without a whole group of volunteers helping and you will see them all round the course from a host of local clubs who also chip in with their invaluable assistance – from sweep riders to control keepers as well as scrutineering, officials, sign-on and timekeeping just to name a few.

A special mention of thanks to the two ladies who make up a big part of the event for our Club, Linda Harris and Carole Tune.

The Mallala Lions Club will be coming along to feed us.

Wishing everyone an enjoyable and safe ride! I would like to say I will see you all during this event, but I am still in isolation for another couple of weeks.

Phil Altschwager

President Levis MCC

THE 2ND WEEKEND IN JULY – MUST BE TIME FOR SA’s ICONIC ‘HARDI’ 24 HOUR TRIAL!

THE 2ND WEEKEND IN JULY – MUST BE TIME FOR SA’s ICONIC ‘HARDI’ 24 HOUR TRIAL!

The 2nd weekend in July is here – and with it comes the running of South Australia’s most iconic motorcycle event, the 88th running of the 24 Hour Trial, which will be celebrating its 97th Anniversary with great naming rights sponsorship from Hardi!

 

HEADLINING THE WEEKEND’S ACTION!

24 HOUR TRIAL COMMITTEE                       HARDI 2021 24 HOUR TRIAL                         RELIABILITY

Saturday & Sunday, 10th & 11th of July! This year the event is returning to the traditional home at the Kapunda Harness Racing Club Complex, Kapunda.

First run in 1924, this year’s trial starts with the first machine leaving from the Kapunda Harness Racing Club Complex on Hancock Road at 11:00am on the 10th of July, and if all went well the first machine will return again at 11:00am on the 11th of July.

The weather will dictate a lot of the difficulties of the course, but whether wet or dry, it will be hard on both bike and rider (and passenger), and there is usually an attrition rate of at least 50%. The trial could not be run without massive support from many clubs, organisations and individuals, and the 24 Hour Trial Organising Committee thank them for their dedication to this great event.

Over 135 riders, as well as nearly 30 passengers will tackle 4 laps of the 200k course this weekend, with the Sidecars leading the way, with 2019 and reigning winners, Max & Sam Hutchesson leading the field away. Leading the Expert Solo field away will also be the 2019 & reigning Champion, Sean Throup, keeping in mind the event is returning after a year off in 2020 due to COVID-19.

The Hardi 24 Hour Trial is also round 4 of the 2021 South Australian Reliability Championships, so riders will be keen to ensure they cross the line on Sunday, to pick up valuable Championship points.

For all the details regarding this event, catering, spectator sections and heaps more, including the draw for the weekend, head to http://www.24hrtrial.com/ or check out their social media pages, Facebook & Instagram.

As well as the rugged men & women who ride the event, this has been and always will be as much a fun weekend for the spectators, as they watch their favourites from some of the best, most beautiful scenery in South Australia.

The 24 Hour Trial Organising Committee do ask spectators and all who attend to respect the land owner’s property, and to take your rubbish away with you please, to not camp on private property without permission and also to drive or ride carefully on the roads and not in any properties. 

Also keep in mind that this event will run under all current COVID-19 requirements, so please QR Code when asked, adhere to all physical distancing requirements, and, if feeling unwell, please stay at home! Thank you!

RILEY GRAHAM, COOPER SHEIDOW, OLLIE GEAR & EMMA HAYLOCK RIP IT UP AT HATTAH!

RILEY GRAHAM, COOPER SHEIDOW, OLLIE GEAR & EMMA HAYLOCK RIP IT UP AT HATTAH!

A huge weekend last weekend at the 2021 Hattah Desert Race for our South Australian riders, with some great results in outright and in class, with SAORC guns, Riley Graham and Cooper Sheidow both finishing in the top 10 outright, with Riley and excellent 6th and Cooper 8th!

Riley, 5th on Saturday in the Prologue (Top 10 Shootout), also stepped onto the podium with 3rd in the 450cc Class, with Cooper just behind in 4th, but it should be noted that the young Cooper was aboard a 350cc machine – the only 350 to finish inside the top 10 where he was surrounded by 450 & 500cc bikes! Superb effort that!

Junior, Ollie Gear had a day out that all would like, as he went about winning the 85cc Big Wheel Class on the Saturday, SA’s only class win for the event, with fellow junior, Emma Haylock also scoring a podium finish with 3rd in the Girls 11-U16 Class.

Other local riders to score a podium finish in class were, Will Price, 2nd in the 250cc 4 stroke class, Warren Carroll, 2nd in Veterans 35-44 years class, Michael Widdison, 2nd in Masters 45 years & Over, and Allan Graham, 3rd in the 250 2 stroke class.

There were also a heap of South Aussies to record top 10 finishes in class out of the many who headed across the border for the event – and the full results can be found here; https://speedhive.mylaps.com/Events/1878446

Huge well done to all of the South Australian riders, as well as their crews and supporters who travelled across with them.
