Press Release: Transierra NorteTransierra Norte is back for its fifth edition, continuing to celebrate life on two wheels with one of the richest traditions of Mexico, the "Day of the Dead". Riders from different destinations will be challenged in a blind format on the long and natural descents that the Northern mountain system of Oaxaca, Mexico has to offer.
Transierra Norte is more than a race, people come together to share and taste the culture in one of the top Mexican destinations. Discover some of the most authentic traditions, delight your palate with delicious food, ride bikes with more than 2500 m of elevation loss accumulated in backcountry stages every day and be part of the one and only two-wheeled party where we celebrate life. Expect long days on the bike with a great mix of pedal transfers and Mexican-style shuttle buses. The riding, fitness, and navigation skills of each rider will be tested during a 4-day journey with more than 15 stages starting up at 2900 m over sea level where speed, loam, rocks, ditches, and steep technical sections come all together to deliver some of the best mountain bike riding out there.
"Hold on to the breaks, drop into the ditch life, go loose and make and join the Mexican party"
During the last five years, Transierra Norte has hosted over a thousand riders from more than 50 different nationalities including two World Champions who can confirm this is a lifetime experience. Oaxaca City is an emblematic destination worldwide recognized by its vast variety of activities captivating the eyes and souls of every visitor. The charming local people and the colorful towns will blow everyone's mind.
