We couldn't have wished for better weather for the launch of the Bluegrass Enduro Tour 2014. Even at 8 a.m. Sunday morning, the sun was already out to welcome the competitors as they picked up their race numbers and set off for the first transition to the Schleiff mountain pass above Dabo. On the program me was a 36 km circuit peppered with 6 timed specials with 1465m of ascents and 1900m of descents. The starting line up at Dabo included some of the world's leading Enduro riders: Nicolas Lau, Rémy Absalon, François Bailly-Maitre among the boys, and Claire Hassenfratz among the girls. In total, more than 400 riders took part with a large contingent of German and Swiss riders who had crossed over from neighbouring countries.
