Route du Moulin from Le Moulin de Bougnères

At just 1.2km, Route du Moulin from Le Moulin de Bougnères is short but deceptively intense — 63m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.3% disguises ramps of 11.3% — 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 Aquitaine, France.
