Côte du bois de Messei
Lower Normandy, france
At just 0.9km, Côte du bois de Messei is short but deceptively intense — 45m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 5.2%, the road kicks to 8.2% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Lower Normandy, France.
- A gentler outing by France standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
