Entries for the 2011 Swann 24hr in South Australia are now available on line.
With the start of this year's event only weeks away the committee have the entries available earlier than normal so you the riders can start to plan for one of the best rides South Australia and Australia has to offer.
With the start only a week after and 4 hours drive from the Hattah Desert race why not come and stay a week in the Beautiful Barossa valley and test you endurance against one of Australia's toughest events.
The event will start from the Eudunda Sporting Complex at 11am on Saturday 9th of July, with continued support from the local community providing not only the valued catering and facilities for the event base, but also the range of properties to be used. The course has been designed to include a variety of terrain with some new sections included to test the large field expected to enter this unique test of rider and machine.
The Swann Insurance 24 Hour Reliability Trial is a true test of rider and machine, with competitors having to carry all spares and riding gear that they require for the event, the only assistance allowed is when refuelling their motorcycle.
