This is a party pace, low-pressure, choose-your-own-adventure dirt road ride that takes riders to and from Wellborn, Florida, in a beautiful loop. The majority of the terrain on this ride is composed of hardpack dirt and pavement. The distance is roughly 100k or 60ish miles.
This is our first time running the event, so there is no cost to participate. But if you're feeling generous, choose the donation ticket and put something in. All the dollars collected help keep us making amazing routes for everyone to enjoy.
Have you heard of bikepacking? It is an exceptionally intriguing trend that has been gaining popularity recently. Bikepacking is not just about riding a bike; it is an adventure that allows individuals to explore nature, engage in physical exercise, and challenge themselves to their limits. In this presentation, I will share my passion for bikepacking and provide insights into the unique aspects of this captivating form of cycling.
The Suwannee River Valley, a prominent geographical feature of Florida, serves as a demarcation point, separating the region that has always been part of the North American Plate from the part that was once part of Africa. This corridor is adorned with an abundance of captivating rural roads and picturesque springs sourced from the Floridan Aquifer. As is customary, the long loop route takes you to MM 55, where you can take a refreshing dip in Charles’ Spring. This year, we’ve introduced a shorter route that offers more opportunities to explore the springs. Join us on this adventure, where you can surf through breathtaking dirt roads and then cool off in equally stunning springs.
The Tallahassee Tango 160 is the first ultra endurance ITT in the Florida panhandle centered around the state capital’s finest singletrack as well as surrounding scenic double track, coastal levees, and forest roads.

Hello and Good Day Fellow Adventurers,
Saturday October 5th will be the official 10th running of the Tally Tango Bikepacking extravaganza. For me its been an honor to continue hosting this event with this outstanding local community. Forever and always, huge thanks to Mat Bull for creating the original route and helping every year to continue to assist me with my crazy ideas and concepts. I knew long ago when I first experienced the route that Mr. Bull understood what it took to create a compelling work of route architecture. Because I like to keep things interesting. This year I asked riders to send in photos of their trusty steeds and share some of their details in the process. So Enjoy the following contributions from our local Bikepacking Community.
Take Care,
