The Tour of Ara was a bicycle race inspired by the Grand Tours of yesteryear. Running from 2014 until it’s final edition in 2018 it traversed the semi desert Karoo region of South Africa covering over 700km’s in 6 days. Only pre 1999 South African built steel frame roadbikes were allowed to be ridden. These images are from the 2015 edition.
