Wauwerdries

At just 0.6km, Wauwerdries is short but deceptively intense — 19m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.2% disguises ramps of 7.1% — 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 Flanders, Belgium.
