Registration open for Transierra Norte - Day Of The Dead Enduro
Mexican Johnny Salido took the top step last year
PRESS RELEASE: Transierra Norte
We are psyched to announce that Transierra Norte - Day Of The Dead Enduro is coming back for its third edition with many surprises in store. Coming soon October 30th - November 3rd, 2019.
A multi-day and blind Enduro race taking place in the Northern mountain system of Oaxaca Mexico that delivers a great mixture of culture, local traditions, an amazing culinary experience and a great variety of terrain to race on. Racers are settled at 1900 meters over the sea level in shared cabins up on the mountains where the party starts every day to race 3-5 timed stages.
In the last 2 years, experienced riders from more than 10 different nationalities have tested the Mexican soil and party while we celebrate life riding bikes on some of the most authentic tracks out there. Most trails have existed for hundreds of years, used by communities to exchange goods and services such as food, water and other resources carried by donkeys. Today we work along with the local communities to make these gems a paradise for mountain bikers and to share them with one of the biggest Mexican festivities which is the "Day of the Dead".
A perfect race to wrap the racing season full of GOOD TIMES, people to meet and experiences to live. Let the Mexican riding take you to the limits of an overall lifetime mountain bike experience.
This year we will surprise competitors with new trails full of amazing dirt, rocky sections, tight and loose corners and more than 1000 m of elevation loss. The race is mostly assisted by our Mexican shuttle trucks with some pedal transfers inside of a magic forest with stunning views, aid stations, and mechanical support.
The Day of the Dead offerings are everywhere, some more elaborate than others

It hasn’t erupted in 37 years but Chiapas volcano considered high risk El Popo is not the only dangerous volcano in Mexico

El Popo is not the only dangerous volcano in Mexico
The central Mexico volcano Popocatépetl has been hogging the headlinesrecently, but experts warn that a second volcano also poses a high risk, this one in Chiapas.
Located in the northwestern part of the state, the Chichonal volcano lies in a mountainous region between the municipalities of Francisco León and Chapultenango.
It is just 75 kilometers from the cities of San Cristóbal de las Casas and Villahermosa, the capital of the neighboring state of Tabasco.
There was a major eruption of the volcano in 1982, which left a crater a kilometer across and more than 200 meters deep, and a lake of acidic water.
Yesterday, the Civil Protection office announced that it will start reinforcing its security protocols in five municipalities surrounding Chichonal.
The agency said that given the possible eventuality of seismic and volcanic activity, the surveillance and monitoring of Chichonal should be a priority.
The agency announced that it will soon start to organize drills so citizens know what to do if there is an eruption.
