Côte de L’Âge Basse from La Cellette

At just 1.9km, Côte de L’Âge Basse from La Cellette is short but deceptively intense — 76m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4% disguises ramps of 8.1% — 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 Limousin, France.
