2022 Trans New England Enduro Full Highlights

New England is oft known as a tourist destination for autumnal colors, fresh maple syrup, ice cream, and a chance to experience the oldest parts of the USA. What most glaze over is its network of trails across multiple states, cared for by trail builders who take pride in their work yet speak softly of it - carrying on the artisan craft ethos their forefathers set before them. Finding these trails on one’s own accord is a challenge more in choice than in discovery, with any local map presenting endless opportunity across farmlands, granite peaks, and dense forest. Many might take the challenge of studying trip reports and rolling dice on decisions, but it is the wise who follow the locals to hidden haunts and flavors found only through years of investment. Trans New England is exactly this - a chance to see a place through the eyes of New Hampshire’s Peter Ostroski and Maine’s Adam Craig. Two folks whose names you likely associate with racing at the elite level in Enduro World Series, UCI XC World Cups, and Olympic Games. Over 5 days, a traverse of 3 states takes one across trails that hold the history of the founding of the United States, the flavors of maple and dairy perfection, and geology that harks across 500 million years of geologic processes. Trans New England is as much an induction into the unique riding scene of the Eastern Seaboard as it is an invitation into the homes of the quiet and friendly faces of those who have made this place so special.
