The program

"We're delighted to be working with our partner Bluegrass to offer a sporting and friendly challenge: the "Bluegrass Vanguard Enduro x Les Orres"! We're sharing our values and our passion for mountain biking through this event, which is free of charge and open to many mountain bikers. The Les Orres bike park offers a fabulous terrain for downhill riding, but also for Enduro, which 4 years ago successfully hosted the last World Cup round of the Enduro World Series. Our commitment to Bluegrass is to test new high-quality protective equipment (in previews), to bring people together, to exchange ideas and to create lasting links. Ride, Enjoy, share and repeat... !"

Emmanuelle TAHMAZIAN,

Director, Les Orres Tourist Office

"The partnership between Bluegrass and Les Orres is a key one that has been close to our hearts for many years. As passionate mountain bikers, we find in the Bike Park des Orres all the dynamics that make the sport evolve in the right direction: welcome, groomed trails, dynamism in development, beauty of the trails and the mountains. We could not but choose this terrain to inaugurate a different competition format: a friendly challenge on some of the Bike Park's most beautiful trails. This event is also an opportunity for the public to preview our new full-face Enduro helmet in a resort renowned for having organized one of the finest Enduro World Series."
