2020 WISHONE 130 GRAVEL EVENT CONFIRMED : AVEYRON FRANCE

Wish One – August 28/29th 2020

Wish One is a french cycling brand based in the department of Aveyron. When Maxime Poisson and François-Xavier Blanc founded the company their ultimate goal was to inspire people to ride their bike. Human is at the center of the project because they believe that bicycle is a great vector of progress for the humanity. They organized a durable eco-system to design unique bicycles in terms of design and performance.

They also thought about how to create new inspiration for the cycling practice, their goal was to explore new way of approaching cycling : far away from the busy roads, in beautiful scenery… while making it epic, challenging and fun. It’s where the idea of creating the Wish One 130 started.

The Wish One 130 «des Causses à l’Aubrac»

The Wish One 130 is an ultimate cycling race composed of a mixture of rustic asphalted roads and pure gravel. It’s highly challenging due to the distance to cover (+130kms) and the 3.000m+ positive elevation. There will be 4 time sections during the course that will determined the classification. This format is adapted to well prepared athletes.

The Wish One Bikepacking is an alternative for people who want to experience the Aveyron roads and trails with a more gentle approach taking the time to visit the nice villages and chill. It’s a 2 days format with less than 100kms per day, it’s a self suffisant randonnée, the first day will end up in the village of Séverac d’Aveyron where you will have to organize your accommodation.
