WHEN: 10th to 14th May 2010
WHERE: Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia
FORMAT: 7 stage MTB race over 5 days
The Red Centre MTB Enduro gives you five days of some of the most awesome mountain biking in Australia along the sweet single tracks and dusty trails of the mighty MacDonnell Ranges around Alice Springs in the red centre of Australia.
The Red Centre MTB Enduro - Red Centre is all about racing some good miles on your bike and then kicking back around the pool with new and old friends afterwards. Its about riding in a truly awesome location, where the tectonic lines of the grand old MacDonnell’s disappear into a distant horizon, with big blue skies, rolling single track and the majesty of the desert. It’s a place that has to be seen to be believed.
- Seven stages of racing over five days, ranging from a 45sec hill sprint in the middle of town to a 90km epic through the majestic Eastern MacDonnell Ranges
- Multi day stage race without multi day logistics – all race days start and finish within rolling distance of Alice Springs, no rental car or support crew necessary (we’ll even pick you up at the airport!)
- Race in the morning then kick back and party on by the pool in the afternoon – yeah baby.
- Choose to stay in the appointed event hotel with negotiated rates and full event centre including bike servicing & cleaning, massage, daily photo slide shows, food, entertainment and nightly presentations
If you thought the outback was full of sand and corrugations you’re wrong, this is single track heaven with endless blue skies and dusty smiles.
