Billed as the race less travelled. Five days of mountain biking across South Africa's Klein Karoo, a semi-desert of open plains ringed by the Outeniqua and Swartberg mountains.
The route
Roughly 500km over five stages with somewhere near 8,000 to 10,000m of climbing (approximate, the route changes yearly). Fast Karoo jeep track and farm roads, sandy dry riverbeds, and long sustained passes in the Outeniqua and Swartberg country.
Late-September, Oudtshoorn
Highs around 21°C and lows around 7°C, but it has dropped to 0°C. Rain on 22% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
