ASCP ALICE SPRINGS TO COOBER PEDY

2026 

Ride 900km across the heart of Central Australia. This is 'remote riding' at its best, a small-group, 14-day, all-gravel, all-camping, adventure from Alice Springs to Coober Pedy.

  • Old Andado Track

  • Finke River Floodplain and forest

  • Mt Dare 'Hotel'

From 2004 to 2011 Outbike ran 2 or 3 of these rides annually. We brought it back in 2025 with 2 rides. Note that our 2025 riders did find this route to be tough and challenging! Be ready for some sandy bits.

Cost is $5000, see Information for details.

2026 is open for Registrations. As of June 2025 we have 10 names for the 12 places. Please contact if you'd like to be on the ride. We'll be firming up entries in July.
