Riders have until this Friday (March 18th) to get their entries in for the 2011 Yamaha Yamalube Cycra GYTR Australian 4-Day Enduro (A4DE).

The 2011 A4DE is being held April 20th to 23rd near Mackay, Queensland.

Entry forms and supplementary regulations can be found at the event’s official website: www.a4de.com

The 2011 Yamaha Yamalube Cycra GYTR A4DE will be one not to miss. Parc Ferme (the staging area for the race) will be located at the Koumala State School, Koumala, with four of the six special tests and the final motocross at the award-winning Gum Valley facility.

The other two tests will be a short 10-minute drive from Parc Ferme.

One of the special tests will incorporate the Gum Valley MX Track. There will be three grass tracks and two enduro tests.

The event will also have a sprint-style media and spectator prologue, being held at the Mackay MX Track the Saturday before the A4DE (April 16th).

Trail sections are set to be some of the most memorable in A4DE history, and have been planned for the scenic mountain ranges, lush valley’s and paddocks of the Sunshine State’s ‘Gateway to the Whitsunday's’.

Riders will also have the rare opportunity to ride on a stretch of Queensland’s iconic beach.

“Not since the Coffs Harbour four-day in 2007 have people been able to combine a scenic beach holiday with an A4DE,” John Hand, of the Gum Valley Motorcycle Club, said.

“Mackay will offer the best of both, with stunning beach and leisure activities for the family, as well as great riding for the competitor.

“We hope to take the sport to a new level by having great special tests that are easily accessed for spectators and crew.

“For the riders, our four day will be challenging, but not too hard. It will be a good, tough ride, and offer an incredible sense of satisfaction to everyone who finishes.

“The trail will be fun, and we are very excited to be able to include some beach riding.

“We are also happy with the location of Park Ferme, which is as close to Mackay as we could get it.

“Koumala is only about 50 kilometers south of Mackay, which has a population of over 100,000 and all the amenities and tourist attractions anyone could want.

“Mackay Tourism has come on board as an event partner and have developed a special booking form for accommodation, which makes finding a place to stay easier than ever.

“We are also very pleased to welcome a host of sponsors, including Yamaha, Yamalube, Cycra and GYTR as naming rights.

“For the dirt bike industry and general business community to be so supportive of this iconic event, even in such tough economic times, and in an even more dire hour for Queensland, with the flood crisis... is truly heart warming.

“The sponsors for this year’s four-day are: YAMAHA, YAMALUBE, CYCRA, GYTR, KTM, HUSABERG, HUSQVARNA, PIRELLI, JJ RICHARDS, PAYNE PRINT, SNAP FITNESS, ENDURA, BALLARD’S OFF-ROAD, CITY FITNESS (MACKAY), MACKAY TOURISM, LEGRA, CARDNO BOWLER, BOWLER GEOTECHNICAL, TERRASCAN, FLEXI HIRE, CHANNEL SEVEN, MACKAY REGIONAL COUNCIL, MACKAY CONVENTION BUREAU, MOTORCYCLING AUSTRALIA and QUEENSLAND EVENTS.
