Arguably one of the most anticipated weekends of the year, the Gawler Motorcycle Centre SA Reliability Trial Championship comes to Robertstown for Round 3’s Lew Job 2 Day Trial on Saturday, the 10th, and Sunday, the 11th of June, hosted by the Velocette MCC. This year is particularly special as it marks the 50th year and 49th running of the Lew Job 2 Day Trial. As always, fans and competitors will enjoy everything the SA Mid North has to offer, including the famous Mutton and Gravy Rolls that consistently draw crowds. With the Championship round marking the half and two full days of reliability trial riding ahead, Robertstown promises to be the perfect backdrop for a weekend of double the action, setting the standard in the Championship standings.
Event organiser and Secretary for the Velocette MCC Michael Kerin said “I am so excited for another long weekend at Robbie and a fantastic course layout with many returning favourites for 2024. The Trail has withstood the test of time & is a true test of Rider & Machine over two days.

Entry List:
Building on last year’s impressive turnout at the Robbie 2 Day Trial, this weekend will see 133 solo riders and sidecars taking to the course. Known for delivering tight finish times, the Robbie course promises intense competition.
With frontrunners Rowan Pumpa and Nicholas Throup absent, and last year’s champion Cooper Sheidow still recovering from an injury, the stage is set for Samuel Nenasheff’s consistency to shine. This round of the Championship could see Nenasheff taking the top spot. This is not going to be an easy task with the competition and strong performance of round 1 runner-up Tristan Throup lining back up for the round.
The anticipation mounts as the spotlight shifts onto Bradley Hunter & Bradley Manuel, spearheading the weekend’s sidecar action. With the formidable absence of Shane Schiller and Steven Doecke, all eyes are on Hunter and Manuel to seize the opportunity and establish dominance from the outset. Amidst a field teeming with 23 determined teams vying to etch their names into the illustrious 2024 Robbie Sidecar honours list, speculation brews. Will Shane Beckmann & Adam Brook mount the most formidable challenge to Schiller and Doecke’s throne, or shall we witness the emergence of a fresh contender, poised to rewrite the narrative at Robbie??
Check out the full entry list – HERE.
Where:
Returning to fan-favourite traditions, the Lew Job 2 Day Trial, affectionately known as “The Robbie 2 Day,” will kick off from Robertstown Oval, located on Main St, Robertstown, home of the Southern Saints Football Club – (Google maps here).
For 2024, riders’ endurance will be given a great test on a challenging 95km course, with each lap taking around 3 hours to complete. With minimal rainfall covering Robertstown over the last couple of weeks, participants will face a dry, arid landscape filled with plenty of mallee holes and deep ruts by the weekend’s end. Over the two days, riders will complete 2 laps of 3 hours each, with the added challenge of nighttime riding on Saturday. Of course, a huge draw card and rider favourite making its return for 2024 will see riders’ speed ramp right up as they take on Spring Hut Creek.
When:
Once you’re all stocked up on food and drink, the first rider will start their journey at 1:01 pm Saturday and a fresh early start at 9:01 am Sunday.
Catering and Camping:
What more can we say except…Mutton and Gravy Rolls on hand all weekend!!
Be sure to check out the the Southern Saints football and social club will be keeping the hot food and cold drinks coming as fans take in all the Reliability Trials action.
