Trail d'Aqui - Espeyrac
17.5 km - D+ 850m - *** - 24 % route - 18 % Chemin large - 58 % Monotrace - 100 % happiness! Run when you feel like it? Run with whoever you want? Let yourself be guided? Run in total freedom!
The first 3 km serve as a warm-up: nothing complicated, just a warm-up.
From km 4 to km 7, the monotraces are king: a playground for local bikers, you wind your way between streams and waterfalls.
It's hilly, it's playful, but don't let it get you down.
At this crossroads at km 7, you can head back down into the village towards the finish for the less experienced: this loop is just over 8km long. For the whole route, a nice steady bump that we'll find again on the way back takes us to a nice road ridge: Daze valley on the left, Lot valley on the right. At Km 9, we break out the crampons: a brisk, technical descent is sure to please D- fanatics! We remain vigilant.
Things slowly calm down and we reach Traviliès: time to get out the cameras! With a breathtaking view of Le Fel and the Lot, we're in for a real treat! But this is also the start of a long, long climb. In 1.5km, you'll climb almost 300 D+, and the further you go, the harder it gets!
Goal: antenna! The next 2km are more relaxed, and you return to the same section as before, up to the famous crossroads at km 7, which you use to descend to the finish.
It's beautiful right to the end!
