The Wish One 130 “des Causses à l’Aubrac”, a Gravel race on August 29th

The Wish One 130 is the ultimate cycling race, consisting of a mix of rustic asphalt roads and trails, which will take place on August 29 in the Aveyron department. The level of difficulty is significant due to the distance to cover (+ 130 km) and the positive elevation gain of over 3000 meters. A non-timed Bikepacking formula is also offered.

There will be four timed special stages on the course that will determine the ranking. This format is suitable for well-prepared athletes.
The Wish One Bikepacking is an alternative for people who want to discover the roads and trails of Aveyron with a more contemplative approach, taking the time to visit and relax. It is a 2-day event format with less than 100 km per day; it is a self-supported ride, the first day ending in the village of Séverac d’Aveyron (More info on the Wish One website).

About Wish One

Wish One is a French cycling brand based in the Aveyron department. When Maxime Poisson and François-Xavier Blanc founded the company, their ultimate goal was to inspire people to cycle. Humans are at the heart of the project because they believe that cycling is a great vector of progress for humanity. They have organized a sustainable ecosystem to design unique bikes in terms of design and performance. They also thought about creating a new inspiration for cycling, their goal being to explore new paths: far from crowded roads, in beautiful landscapes… while making the practice epic, challenging, and fun. This is where the idea of creating a high-level Gravel race germinated.
