Gravel Race
Tour of Ara
Karoo , South AfricaThe Tour of Ara, named for the Southern Hemisphere constellation of Ara, is a prestige race that is ridden mostly on South African-built steel racing bicycles in the proud tradition of the early Italian multi-day stage races.
The Tour follows a tough new dirt-road route over six days through the beautiful but harsh semi-desert Karoo and surrounds every year, and is as much a race as it is an exploration and celebration of this unique landscape and the people that live there.
