Lesotho Sky Diaries Day 2: Malealea Loop

Recommended Posts

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.

Looks like trail bike country, but no trail bikes...

A trail bike would be great on some of the technical stuff, but this event is still a marathon stage race and includes some pretty long "transitions" on open road that would hurt a lot more on a longer travel bike.

 

So you do want something with a good balance...
