WHEN: 14th to 18th May 2012
WHERE: Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia
FORMAT: 7 stage MTB race over 5 days
The Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro - Alice Springs 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 Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro - Alice Springs 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 77km epic through the majestic 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.

It’s like a gathering of the adventure gods – cough, strike that – a gathering of the adventure retirees, all too stubborn to let go of the rusty ice pick or the idea that they can still knock off a mountain or three. And so it is that a clan of mountain men – once rulers of adventure racing thrones in Australia and New Zealand – now gather annually to take on risky(ish) forays that still strike out into the field of adventure as much as bodies and minds weathered by decades of wild outdoors lif Click here for full story ...Ussher wins Anaconda Adventure finale, confirms 2011 National Series title(Posted 4/12/2011)
