Best Mountain Bike Events in the Mid-Atlantic 2023
Strambecco rates the top mountain bike events in the Mid-Atlantic region for 2023 based on various factors, including reputation, route quality, location, rider feedback, and the overall uniqueness of the event or race. Spanning New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland — Mid-Atlantic terrain features of Strambecco’s best list often include secluded single track, gravel farm roads and dirt/grass double track sections, rolling hills, and short, punchy climbs.
If we had to pick the best of the best, we’d recommend the Transylvania Mountain Bike Epic, especially if you are looking for a multi-day stage race. We also recommend the Shenandoah Mountain Bike Epic and Wilderness 101, both National Ultra Endurance series events.
