Is there any burners in Alice Springs?

[Plankosaurus]

I've been roped into heading up there for work next week, and was hoping to hit the local trails while I was there. I'm crossing my fingers I can get a hire bike at short notice, or I'll have to run around making freewheel noises. And it would be ace if I had someone to show me some trails, but if not I'll also happily just roll around with the maps and hope I don't get too lost.


Anyone been up there?
Got any recommendations?
Am I an idiot for wanting to ride in the evening when it's high 30s?

It's a pity that @Zaf, Zaf'ed himself. He probably could have pointed you in the right direction or you could have even used some of his posts to see what tracks are available.

There’s a great network there by all accounts.

Flow did an article and video about it which should be easy to find.

@mint355 might be local from memory.

Three corner jack city. Make sure the tyres are filled to the brim with stans.

It's not nice to make fun of people's text impediments...

So I should request a SS hire bike? I'm feeling like that wouldn't be a thing


Good to know about east vs West. I'm probably not going to have a lot of time so will probably only to be able to do one or the other

The Larapinta trails on the West side are great, access them from behind the Scout Hall.

East side Telegraph Station trails are also good.

There is also a trail that will take you to Simpson's Gap.

Carry lots of water, lights and be tracking your ride, it starts to look the same out there and getting lost is really easy.
There's the East and West McDonnell Ranges to help navigate but darkness falls really quickly then you will be in trouble.
