Trail d'Aqui - Demi-kilomètre vertical ENTRAYGUES
3.6 km - D+ 460m - ***** - 8 % Road - 44 % - Wide path - 48 % Monotrace - 100 % Happiness
You start the ascent opposite the old bridge on a tarmac section. 300 m after the start, you fork right to get to the heart of the matter, following a path that takes you to Bouissy. You continue through the forest, which is evenly distributed in terms of difficulty. You avoid the Rieu de la Coste on a steep old path.
One kilometer and 160 D+ on the clock. It's a change to ride on gravel as far as Pargues. You go into warrior mode in an old dry canyon before tackling the most difficult 200 m at kilometer 2.
At the summit, enjoy a well-earned 300 m descent before a flat, worn-out section on a carriage road. Km 3, 600 m to go: it's time for the final stretch through the forest, cutting straight across and throwing all your energy into the battle. Well done, you've just completed 450 D+ in 3.5 km!
What's special about this ½ KV is that we're offering you a different way back. Pass through Ginolhac and after 300 m, you turn left (you can go straight on for 100 m, and after the farm on the right, contemplate the incredible view over Entraygues). Continue on the plateau as far as Martinies before starting the descent.
Continue on a large carriageway above the Badour farm, which is smooth and steady. At Regaud, 100 m of road before the final wall, a short monotrace that takes you straight back to the finish.
