After May 2017, where the island’s mountain bike community hosted the EWS, the island’s MTBers were back to their origins as mountain bikers, looking for old paths that connect the island west to east and south to north. Exploring the high trails in the mountains and finishing each and every single day down the ocean. Covering the much ground possible via singletrack.

“Madeira has trails, passion for the sport, big mountains, delicious food, culture – all the essential components to create a unique adventure and experience. This is more than a race; it’s the perfect way to explore Madeira” – Trans Madeira.
If all this wasn’t enough to tempt, then maybe you remember the delicious video above from the EWS at Madeira. The 100 riders who make it into the Trans Madeira will be very lucky indeed.
