Info Night – 2020 A4DE to be in Erica!

 

 

The Dandenong Motor Cycle Club (DMCC) will conduct the Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE) in the Erica Forest District during May 2020. An information night will be held in the Erica Hall from 7:30 pm on Wednesday 27 November and will inform the community about how local groups can participate and fundraise.

Conceived in 1978, the A4DE is renowned for its fierce competition nationwide, and the Erica location will provide the perfect landscape for the highly anticipated event in the local shire of Baw Baw. The event will include excellent spectator vantage points, plus easy access from the township. Scheduled to be held 6-9 May 2020 the Championship returns to Victoria where it was last hosted in Mansfield back in 2016.

With the 2020 A4DE to head back to Erica who hosted the prestigious event in 1987 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.”

The local communities of Erica and Rawson are already well behind the event with support and will be instrumental in conducting the event.
Baw Baw Shire Council spokesperson adding:

“Baw Baw Shire Council is looking forward to hosting Australia’s most well-known Enduro event in 2020 in the beautiful Walhalla and Mountain Rivers Region.

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.”

More information will be provided in the coming weeks. To stay up to date with all news from the A4DE, be sure to check out the A4DE website, and follow the A4DE on Facebook!
