Words by Trans Madeira

Every rider has a story to tell and a reason to add Trans Madeira to their bucket-list. Those that are looking for a podium and don't skip a pedal stroke. Those that come for friendship with the mission to survive the 75km of timed stages. Those doing it for their loved ones. Welcoming riders from all around the World in this little dot in the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira, has been a journey with so many tales. Follow the stories of some of the riders that joined us for Autumn 2022 edition.

Two editions lined up for 2023
We'll be back with two editions for next year, with Summer taking place from 16-20 May and Autumn from 19-23 September. Don't ask us about the weather on these dates... we have no idea. Welcome to the land of four seasons in one day. No kidding. With 140 spots to grab on each edition maybe 2023 will be your year to experience what Madeira is all about. The journey from East to West has it all: from tropical rain forests to open dry fields in the alpine, it pretty much means that riders will have to adapt quickly to each new single day and stage. You like it steep? Fun? Flow? Tech? Fast and open? Dust or mud? Luckily... we have it all!

It's not just big mountain views. There's a fair share of tech in these forests.
