About this event
Singletrack Samurai Productions Presents a Tallahassee Bikepacking Creation:
The GROUP START Resumes, BUT OYO/ITT OPTIONS CAN STILL BE ARRANGED. Can't make the group start? That's ok there is an option to buy the route, guide, and patch to ride the route in the future at your leisure.
The Tallahassee Tango routes are the first ultra-endurance bikepacking routes in the Florida panhandle. The routes are centered around the state capital’s and is composed of singletrack, scenic double track, coastal levees, and forest roads.
There are Four routes available.
The Tango 177 Takes riders through the Aucilla Singletrack and offer riders options to see some of Florida's Finest Rapids.
The Tango 277 Features all the awesomeness of the 177 route but offers riders a chance to go through Tate's Hell and Back!
The Tango Original, before the addition of the Aucilla singletrack, this route offers many of the same features of the 177 route, just by passes Aucilla.
NEW IN 2022 The Tango LiTe, a mostly Gravel Route option for those riders wanting to see this beautiful area and avoid 99% of the singletrack found on the original route. LiTe does not mean easy, route mileage is estimated at 234 miles.
We are asking for a 45$ Donation that will net all participants a patch, a route guide, gpx, and a waypoint rerource file. There will also be a well stocked Samurai Camp Saturday night, offering riders a chance to party in the woods at no additional cost.
