    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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. His family moved from Lesotho to South Africa in 1998 and he has been cycling with the DMA for the past 6 years. Click here to view the article

    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

    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.

    After recently working with Brian Strauss to build a XC track at the Lesotho Sun in Maseru, I realise how much “natural riding” terrain Lesotho has to offer. He walked around our purposed track and could not believe his eyes! Something that I had taken for granted on every ride. Having a new set of trained trail eyes gazing at my back yard riding terrain has once again awakened my appreciation for the humble Lesotho dirt. Click here to view the article

    The theme song of Top Gun is playing in the background, seven fighter jets break the sound barrier overhead, Maluti lagers flow aplenty. That's how we imagined the route launch for today, but our budget is tight, so this press release will suffice. Click here to view the article

    The Lesotho Sky takes a different format this year and starts with a bang - there is no short prologue to ease riders into the thin air of the Maloti mountains. The race starts with the gruelling ride from Ramabanta Trading Post to Malealea Lodge over 69 kilometres with 1800 metres of vertical ascent.* After months of anticipation and days of travel to get to Ramabanta, we were eager to get going, despite the bone-chilling temperatures predicted for the week to come.

    Day 2 of Lesotho Sky saw us take on the infamous Malealea Monster in a 55km loop from Malealea Lodge with 1,430 metres of ascent. This was probably my favourite day from last year, featuring beast climbs followed by incredible, fun, and sketchy descents, keeping the climbing to reward ratio high. The Malealea Loop did not disappoint today. Click here to view the article

    Day 4 of Lesotho Sky saw us tackle another hefty stage, riding 78 kilometres from Roma to Ramabanta Trading post via Bushman’s Pass and the infamous Three Witches. It was another day of digging deep for us. I had forgotten to pack my legs and had to be dragged up every single incline, gasping like a fish out of water. This was not ideal since we had to climb over 2300 metres during the stage, and some heroic pulling was required. Click here to view the article

    Today’s stage saw us ride 87 kilometres from Malealea Lodge to Roma with what ended up measuring around 1900 metres of vertical ascent. It is the longest stage of the race and took us into a very dark place. Click here to view the article

    The final stage of Lesotho Sky 2016 took place at Semonkong Lodge, nestled next to the Maletsunyane River high in the Maluti mountains. The drive to the start of the stage was an experience of its own: nearly an hour of the most incredible winding passes. You could almost feel the air getting thinner as we headed skywards.

    Today made the preceding stages of Lesotho Sky look like a picnic in the park. It was not our lucky day. The legs were feeling a bit better, morale was high, and we were looking forward to a slightly shorter ride, keeping things in our comfort zone. Click here to view the article

    If you are considering to enter for the Lesotho Sky 2016, you’d better get going. As the event is growing in legendary status, the entries are selling out faster than two fatties on a tandem down Chapman’s Peak. Click here to view the article
