We wanted a race focused on a magical little town in the Karoo and to give riders the opportunity to experience the amazing hospitality of the locals and breath taking landscape and game as they cycle around the tallest free standing mountain in the country, through some of the amazing game reserves in the area. We believe we have a very nice mix of the above in the pot.
We also wanted to veer away from the sausage machine feel that so many races have developed lately where it is all about the money and very little attention is given to the actual experience, on and off the bike, so there is a limit to how many people can enter.
We spent many hours in the saddle, talking about this idea and how we want to make it different and unique
