Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race 2024 (Karoo)

The last weekend of May 2024 will see Sling Aircraft and Sling Cycles team members and friends returning to the Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race for the fourth year in a row heading down en mass. A variety of Sling Aircraft and vehicles will carry our team from Johannesburg to the Tankwa Tented Camp – home to the race and springboard to almost all Tanqua adventures.

This year, they have changed both routes entirely. The longer route will turn around at The Gannaga Lodge where their magically themed lunch stop will be situated.

The long route is really tough and suited for experienced riders. Or for those who don’t 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 they are sending you way out into the rocky desert to bake. Will there be a Kief Kafé ready to refuel you? You bet. Will there be a vintage fridge hidden with ice-cold cokes in glass bottles? Obviously. They are also looking to have an ice cream van parked somewhere dishing out the goodness. Who knows what else they will come up with.

Day 2 is shorter with some epic hike-a-bike sections across three river crossings. A hidden Kief Kafè will keep you moist, as usual. Will there be banging beats played at full volume? Oh yes! They have stopped calling the route short, as it’s a bit misleading. Not a single free mile is to be found on this course. Pack your big-boy panties for this one.

We’re going to ride flippin’ hard. We’re going to eat like desert royalty. Some no doubt will over-hydrate in the Onverklaarbar. We’re going to light things on fire and shoot up some fireworks. One thing that we’re going to do more than anything though, is to disconnect so we can reconnect.

Come and play in the desert. We’d love to have you.
