The only international ‘blind racing’ series is back; so set yourself a new challenge for 2015 with the return of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour.
Taking mountain biking right back to its roots, there is no opportunity to practice or walk the routes, ensuring the racing is wild and riders skills and intuition are put to the ultimate test.
The four-race line up takes in some of the most outstanding locations on offer, from the snowy slopes of Gelncoe in Scotland, to the rugged mountains of the Pyrenees and the Jura, with a legendary grand finale in Sicily.
The events are sure to sell out, so get in early when registration opens on the 20th January 2015, sign up here.
9th May – Glencoe, Scotland, UK
This will be UK’s only race to use gondolas to get you to the top, and includes a mass start for the final stage to ramp up the competition. Just be sure to prepare for any weather, as riders had to contend with a MegaAvalanche style snowy descent in 2014.
13th and 14th June – Vallee d’Aure, Pyrenees, France
An all-new location for the 2015 tour, the Vallee d’Aure is sure to test riders with some of the toughest terrain the notorious Pyrenees have to offer. Taking in the new MTB Trail 65 riding centre, as well as the new Rando d’Aure XC trails, this is an opportunity to ride some of the freshest trails around.
19th and 20th September – Delemont, Jura, Switzerland
This challenging two-day race takes riders to Switzerland for the first time to conquer the stunning Jura Mountains, home to Equinoxx Enduro Bike who will be hosting the event. Rest up for the night in a castle on beds of straw and prepare for the next day’s all out riding.
17th and 18th October – Castelbuono, Sicily, Italy
The only international Enduro race held in Sicily rounds of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour in legendary style. Descending from a rocky outcrop perched 1500m above the Mediterranean Sea all the way to streets of Castelbuono riders are faced with an urban stage to the finish the tour in spectacular fashion.
