The Klein Karoo is one of South Africa’s most rewarding regions for gravel cycling, with vast landscapes, quiet district roads and spectacular passes linking historic Karoo towns.
Centred around Ladismith, this network offers hundreds of kilometres of interconnected routes through valleys, farms and mountain terrain. The maps below highlight key routes across the region and reflect a broader system of riding we have developed and refined over time.
Rather than fixed tracks, these routes form part of a flexible network, allowing us to adapt rides to conditions, seasons and group dynamics, while maintaining flow, safety and variety.
