We operate to promote cycling in Central Australia where we have a world class outside velodrome, plenty of great roads, easy to access mountain trails and the Simpson Gap bike path.
The Alice Springs Cycling Club provides a broad variety of cycling activities including track, road and cyclocross. There are organised training rides, social rides and plenty of racing in all disciplines. Each year the club publishes a calendar of events including Criteriums, Time Trials, Road Races, Gran Fondo's, Hill climbs and fun social rides.
Looking to move to the Century bunch but not sure of how you will go? The Entry Century is the perfect way to move to longer distances with the goal to join the century bunch, train for a Gran Fondo, or just ride longer. The group meets at 6.30 at the Tom Brown Roundabout (TBR). Will ride 70-100km with a pace around 28km/hr with options to drop off to the BOWWOW group if needed. Bring water, snacks and coffee money.
The 100km ride will start from Tom Brown roundabout at 6:30am and averages around 30km/hr. Anyone who does not want to do the full 100km is welcome to turn back for home at any time. The route is decided at the roundabout on the day.
