TRANS MADEIRA - "One of the best MTB tracks you'll ever ride!?" Day 3 LIAM MOYNIHAN

TransMadeira Day3. A mega mountain mission.

A big shift in the morning - 2 longggg stages. A VERYYYYYY big shift then two more stages. I'd been told that stage 3 was one of the best tracks I'll ever ride in my life so was seriously looking forwards to that through the day and it was indeed a rare treat!

The day started in Frnchal the capital of Madeira in the South and eded in the NorthWest after traversing over the mountains in the middle. With a fair bit of hike a bike, a fair bit of pedalling, some cool bits of undulating trails and some tunneling through levadas and along some cliffs inbetween tracks. Some of the trails in the race are only allowed mountain bikes for this race week (I;m not exactly sure which ones) and they are hard work to reach so it felt like a real treat to be riding everything that was served up on day 3!
