Lesotho plans mini off-road motorcycle event
The Lesotho Off Road Association will host a shorter, less technical race on November 21 at Ha Molengoane.
The Lesotho Off Road Association (LoRA) is organizing a Mini-Roof of Africa event on November 21 at Ha Molengoane, near Maseru. This event aims to provide riders with another chance to experience Lesotho's off-road terrain after the main Roof of Africa race in September.
LoRA public relations officer Lehlohonolo Taela stated that the association received requests from riders who missed the main event due to school commitments. The Mini-Roof will focus on the Bronze and Iron categories, omitting the more demanding Silver and Gold classes.
The main Roof of Africa race, now part of the Hard Enduro World Championship series, has had its dates shifted from their traditional late November or early December slot. This change has impacted participation, particularly for riders from South Africa.
Why it mattersMotorcycle riders and enthusiasts in Lesotho will have another opportunity to compete in an off-road event.
