  1. The Lesotho Sky Race goes into it’s 5th edition this year and will be taking place from 20th – 25th September 2015. The event has been a UCI stage race since 2013, a strategy which has resulted in international and South African professional MTB teams competing in the race in 2013 and 2014. Moreover Basotho riders have the chance of earning valuable UCI points and as a result, Lesotho managed to leapfrog Namibia and is now ranked 2nd in Africa (in Mountain Biking) behind South Africa.

  3. There has been much talk about the rather ominous yet extremely well reviewed Lesotho Sky recently. After its 4th successful event just a few weeks ago, entries to the event are now open. Event director Darol Howes says “We are excited about opening entries again, it is exciting to see who comes back and which new names take up the challenge of coming and riding 6 awesome days in the Adventure Kingdom.” Click here to view the article

  5. Friday was the final chapter of my 2014 Lesotho Sky adventure. Already it had been an incredible experience and unlike any stage race I’ve taken part in to date. The terrain was at times brutal and unforgiving, but the routes and settings so inspiring and rewarding. Click here to view the article
  6. It’s the morning of day 5 the longest stage in the 2014 Lesotho Sky at 89 kilometers. Also a moving day we’re up a little earlier to pack and load bags for transit to the next camp in Roma. Click here to view the article
  7. Some slight rain overnight and overcast conditions on Day 4 had us donning a few additional layers on the start line. The stage started from the new camp at Malealea lodge where we’d been treated to some t-bone steaks which would rival any top end steak house. Click here to view the article
  8. Sounds of distant roosters and the welcomed smell of bacon wafting from the nearby kitchen was my day 2 wake up call. With some breakfast shoveled down, kit on and bikes checked we were ready to roll. Click here to view the article
  9. Waking up on day 3 I could feel some aches setting in. Perhaps from yesterday's tumble or maybe just tent life, but nothing a warm cup of coffee won't cure. First though, it's time to check on my bike. Click here to view the article
  10. With the various political goings on there was a little apprehension heading across the border for my first Lesotho Sky. While the organising team and other locals had given assurances that the media was making a meal of things, you’re still never quite sure until you are there. Click here to view the article
  11. Tsepo Nyirenda of the Diepsloot MTB Academy (DMA) is excited to go ‘home’ to cycle. He will be competing in the Lesotho Sky MTB Stage race from 21 – 26 September 2014, thanks to Lesotho Sun.

This year, Sentebale is partnering with the Lesotho Sky and will become the official charity of the mountain bike race. Click here to view the article
  13. The age-old expression, “If it’s too hot then get out of the kitchen” doesn’t ring true for celebrity chef David Higgs, but he will find almost any other excuse to get out on his mountain bike. “It’s my escape, my time to recharge and relax,” says South Africa’s 2013 chef-of-the-year. “I love it, I particularly enjoy the stage races, not just for the challenge, but also as an opportunity to visit places that I would not otherwise see.” Click here to view the article
  14. The Lesotho Sky has grown consistently every year and will now host 80 riders in the 2014 edition. It is quickly becoming popular so don’t miss out on what is likely to be your best ever MTB experience. Click here to view the article
