Tally Tango Bikepacking Challenge 2026

Singletrack Samurai Productions Presents a Tallahassee Bikepacking Creation:

The Tallahassee Tango routes are the first ultra-endurance bikepacking routes in the Florida panhandle. The routes are centered around the state capital and are composed of singletrack, scenic double track, coastal levees, and forest roads. NEW IN 2026, RIDERS CAN CHOOSE TO GO CLOCKWISE OR ANTI-CLOCKWISE.

There are four routes available.

The Tango Original 165 - This route offers many of the same features of the 177 route, just bypasses Aucilla.

The Tango 177 - Takes riders on the Eastern Side of the Aucilla River and offers 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 LiTe, aka the Tango through Hell, 230 miles, is 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.

What you are purchasing is the route information. Once you purchase that info, it is yours to use and ride the route at your leisure. Everyone who purchases the route information will be invited to participate in the kick-off event that marks the official beginning of the Florida Bikepacking season. Route information will be sent on August 1st. Once the information is sent, no refunds can be offered. You will receive the information for all 4 routes and choose which route and direction to ride when you register for trackleaders.

We ride this route for enjoyment and appreciation of the beautiful wildlife corridors located in the area. For fun, riders can choose to have their finishing times compared to those of other participants. Those who choose to have their times compared agree to follow the rules of ultra self-supported challenges and to be tracked using trackleaders. Trackleaders offers rentals or the use of a tracking app, or you can use your own Spot, InReach, or Zolio. Additionally, Riders who choose to have their times compared can ride solo or as a team.

Everyone who gets an invite to the kick-off event will also be invited to a Friday Night Dinner and have access to a group camp/Neutral Aid Station with food, cold beverages, and snacks. If you want to ensure you receive a 2026 patch, you must register before August 1st.

All proceeds from the event are used to continue the work of organizing amazing one-of-a-kind events and help support the effort to map new routes and steward the existing routes. This is a full-time job, and additional Donations are always welcome and appreciated.
