Not only is Christmas coming, but also the 2014 racing season! With many brand new series being announced and established ones publishing their schedule too, it looks like it will be an incredible year. The Bluegrass Enduro Tour will have six stops in 2014, spread all over Europe. As usual for this series, the stages will be ridden on sight and without any training on the track.

Three of the races will be in France, plus events in Glenocoe Mountain (Scotland), Castelbuono (Sicily) and Dublin (Ireland). The latter is especially for the biking girls – ladies only!

To attract riders from all over Europe, the organisers have put together some neat schedules for each event: The day before each of the French races a kids-race will take place. Also there will be a “open”-category with a shorter round to enable newcomers to dip into the sport. A special feature for the race in Scotland is a mass-start on the last stage! Riders racing in Sicily will have the possibility to participate at a “Ride-with-the-Pros”-Event the day after the race.
