La Remences

La Remences offers two routes: short (100 km / +1,280 m) and long (175 km / +2,600 m). Within the first kilometres a 15-30 minute climb forces you to position yourself and find a group. On the long route, the Coll de Bracons with gradients reaching 11-12% decides much of the race. To tackle it, you need to train hard and sustained climbs, simulating the demands you'll face.
