Night riders enjoy the dark side of Alice Springs in Ingkerreke Commerial MTB Enduro Stage Six.
To the booming strains of AC/DC's Thunderstruck, the Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro riders lined up under the darkened Alice Springs sky this evening for the much anticipated night stage.
Unique in that it is one of the few mass starts taken under headlamp and handlebar light, the stage saw riders take their cue from the Bon Scott soundtrack, striking off in a thunder of wheels, dust and flickering beams of light, ahead of them 23km of mostly tight and shadowy singletrack.

Hansen scores podium, Blair another win while Haig dashes hopes with a crash.
The 77km Stage Four of the Inkgerreke Commercial Mountain Bike Enduro in Alice Springs featured equal parts pain and pleasure today with spills for some and come from behind wins for the more fortunate.
Subarau-MarathonMTB.com rider Naomi Hansen registered a bike-length win over yellow jersey rider, Melissa Anset, while Team Torq's Jack Haig had his hopes of being the first to beat overall men's leader, Andy Blair, dashed by a shoulder-crushing fall in the closing kilometres of what was a brutal day on course.

Hogarth the hero, Holmes holds court on Anzac Hill sprint

A misty morning greeted the 100kers for their 7am start. The air was cool enough for warmers, but then it was a short bitumen bunch sprint to the first major climb.
This year migration to the little hamlet of St Albans sees some of Australia's best mountainbikers race along side those who are just challenged by the distance. Riders arrived from all over NSW, as far away as Queensland and Tasmania, to this sold-out event.
