As the sun rose over the Tweed Valley this morning 600 racers were getting ready to take the trail for the second round of the Enduro World Series in 2014. Starting from the town green in Peebles, they would then head some 15km to Innerleithen and climb up into the hills. By the end of the day they would have tackled 50km and 1400m climbing, on some of the most demanding trails we've yet seen in the EWS. Tracy Hannah was joking that Fort William will be less intimidating next week after this... It's going to be a tough weekend of racing, the key to winning? Simply to stay on the bike. The chances are that the winners this weekend will be the riders who don't override the tracks and keep things clean over both days.
