The Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race

Now in its 4th year, The Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race is a heavenly bicycle race through the harsh Tankwa Karoo. This year, weve change both routes entirely. The longer route will turnaround at The Gannaga Lodge where our magically themed lunch stop will be situated. The long route is really tough and suited for experienced riders. Or for those who dont care and are happy to ride in the desert. We like those people. Like a lot. They are us people. The medium route is no gimmie and were sending you way out into the rocky desert to bake. Will there be a Kief Kaf ready to refuel you? You betcha. Will there be a vintage fridge hidden with ice cold cokes in glass bottles obviously. Were also looking to have an ice cream van parked somewhere dishing out the goodness who knows what well come up with. Day 2 is shorter with some epic hike-a-bike sections across three river crossings. A hidden Kief Kaf will keep you moist, as usual. Will there be banging beats played at full volume OH YEAH! Weve stopped calling the route short, as its a bit misleading. Not a single free mile is to be found on this course. Pack your big boy panties for this one. Were going to ride flippin hard. Were going to eat like desert royalty. Some no doubt will over hydrate in the Onverklaarbar. Were going to light things on fire and shoot up some fireworks. One thing that were going to do more than anything though, is to disconnect so we can reconnect. Come and play in the desert. Wed love to have you. THE FORMAT. Day 1 129km 1164m ascent (long) or Day 1 59km 150m ascent (medium) Day 2 62 km 250m ascent
