Glen Helen Gran Fondo 8th August 2026

Who won – the north westerly wind.
The initial joy of not such a cold day with some nice cloud cover was lost amongst the angst of the headwind. The splash of rain mid event had some cooling happiness but that didn’t last.

Five riders started at Flynn’s Grave. Three riders completed 126km (approx.) to the Mt Sonder Lookout, two riders were creative and made it to the finish (on their bikes). Two riders joined at Hugh River (one fresh off the plane from Darwin) and had very different experiences and the fastest rider (km/hr) rode the shortest distance (and his longest race/ride).
See below for detailed results.

A long lunch of salty chips, fresh salads, breads, cold meats, cheese, banana bread AND cold sugar rich drinks was enjoyed by all riders, support crews and volunteers, with views of Mt Sonder, Two Mile and across to Glen Helen.

Big thanks to Bec Schultz and Trish Gaff for excellent support with ready supplies, happiness at driving behind riders and the mental support required by everyone. Thanks to Tom Simonson for supporting Sven in achieving the fastest average for the day! And thanks to Reg Hatch for being the course photographer.

Today Alice Springs Cycling Club turned 60 years old. ASCC was formally established as a club on the 29th June 1966, and is still one of the most active regional road and track cycling clubs in Australia and definitely the friendliest. See photos from 1968 attached. Do you know who these riders are?
