Trail d'Aqui - Villecomtal
17.5 km - D+ 900 m - **** - 28 % road - 36 % wide track - 36 % monotrace - 100 % Happiness ! Run when you want to... Run with whoever you want to... Run while being guided... Run in total freedom!
Start from the bridge parking lot, heading for the village and its main street. There are 4 butterfly loops on this route, as well as the Terra Trail, so pay close attention!
And you start with climb 1 from Servières. It's long but very steady, and you'll get there running! At the top, you turn left and pass the sublime church and the big rock. Then it's off downhill in the opposite direction!
At the bottom, it's back to climb no. 2! It's longer and tougher!
Polissal and its waterfall, a little respite, and it's back up to the antenna! Phew, you're back on your feet, gazing out over the valley.
Superb singletrack, much of it reopened by local Yannick! All the way down to the Dourdou!
Barely down, it's the Enfarinés wall for climb no. 3! Narrow, steep and impressive! 1km and 180 D+, that's a lot!
At the top, there's nothing flat about it: it's straight downhill again, with the Château du Puech below.
Almost back to the start, climb no. 4 awaits you. A former Roman road, it's not as steep as the previous one, but your thighs are starting to burn?
The last 4 kilometers will seem like a formality, with a lot of downhill road?
One last monotrace along the Dourdou and you're there.
