Populierenstraat via Mielenpad

At just 0.7km, Populierenstraat via Mielenpad is short but deceptively intense — 23m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.1% disguises ramps of 8.5% — 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 Flanders, Belgium.
