The first kilometer is a warm-up in the village.
The next 5 kilometers are easy and offer some lovely views on a clear day!
Once you've passed the hamlet of La Croux, you're in for a real treat. A wild and sublime ridge descent to start with. 600m of carriageway and then a very wild descent on an old forgotten path.
Then comes the bump in the road: 200 D+ in 800m! It's very tough, but as you turn your head, the panorama over the Lot valley is sublime!
For the next 3km, you'll be running exclusively on wild single-track, with the Lot on your left. With the Moulin de Gachou in sight, you take a breather for 1km.
From then on, it's all forest all the way to the end, so enjoy! First the easy Gimalac trail, then the Badiols trail.
At Poujol, a beautiful descent takes you to the stream, and behind it, a 300m wall awaits you, a place where bikers pass through.
Km 18, Corbières haut, small shady road to La Vaysse.
Last effort with 200 D+ in 2km, it's beautiful but painful. You arrive at the bread oven in Nayrac.
Just 300m to go, and you're there: 1,200 D+, bravo!
