The Hardi 2020 24 Hour Trial – entries close this coming Tuesday, the 11th of August – with this quick update from the 24 Hour Trial Chairman, Shane Diener;

What a year motorcycling and the 24 Hour has experienced so far! It was exciting to have secured Hardi as the major sponsor for 2020, bringing new ideas to the event. Additionally, we have secured several new sponsors to the event and attracted some previous sponsors back.

The committee have worked extremely well together and maintained positive progress during Covid restrictions, to ensure that the first weekend of September will be an amazing event. We’ve managed to secure 7 new sections for 2020, we will be able to ride another new section that was bypassed due to the wet conditions in 2016 and most importantly an old favourite returns after a long hiatus.

Light Council have been accommodating as we have ridden the waves of Covid restrictions, MSA have been supportive in providing the best opportunity to make the event work.

Come out on September 5 and 6 to support the 2020 Hardi 24 Hour Trial, support your friends, fellow competitors, remembering to adhere to Covid guidelines throughout the weekend. Make this an event to remember and provide some positives in this ever changing and testing year. Most importantly stay safe and have fun.

The Keep Ya Feet Up Trial – entries close for this trial, on Thursday, the 13th of August, being run by the Gawler MCC at Tungkillo on Sunday, the 16th of August.
