2010 A4DE Website now up and runningOyster Bay Motorcycle Club is in the planning stages of organising the Australian Four Day Enduro – the A4DE. This is the premier event for enduro motorcycling in Australia and will be run in the Portland/Sunny Corner area of NSW, approx. two hours west of Sydney near Lithgow, between April 8 – 11, 2010.
The event starts at Portland Showground each day for the four days of competition and ventures out on a new route every day, returning back to the showground in the afternoon. The A4DE trail sections are planned to run in, and around, the Sunny Corner State Forest, and we have also secured many private properties for special tests and the final moto, so the course should be varied and technical.
The organising committee for the A4DE includes members from the Motorcycling Australia Enduro Commission, OBMCC, Central Western riders and various other personnel who have many years experience at both the A4DE and ISDE. We aim to hold an event “for enduro riders by enduro riders”.
We will be limiting the A4DE to 350 entries and have had interest from some international enduro riders already! Accommodation for the event will be available in the Lithgow and Bathurst Areas as Portland is approx. halfway between these two towns. There is limited space at the Portland Showground, so there will be NO camping available at the Parc Ferme! Please contact Kellie at Lithgow Tourism Centre - www.tourism.lithgow.com or phone her on 1300 76 02 76 for all accommodation bookings and information on where to camp etc..
To ride this event you must hold a valid M.A. National License, RTA Motorcycle License, have a registered bike and comply with the A4DE regulations as per the M.A. Manual of Motorcycle Rules (Chapter 25 - Enduro and Reliability section). See the www.ma.org.au website – General Competition Rules - for more details.
Soon we will be publishing the supplementary regulations and encouraging Early Bird Entries. Additional information will be available on the A4DE website a4de2010.com.au which will be regularly updated with news and information. We also plan to have a “A4DE for beginners” section with helpful tips and information for rookies and enthusiasts.
If you want to volunteer at the A4DE, either by helping with the control points, tests or as a sweep rider, please contact us asap to place yourself on the Volunteer roster.
