Bois de Caire

At just 0.8km, Bois de Caire is short but deceptively intense — 50m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.5% disguises ramps of 13.1% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.
