Boucles de l'Aulne
Les Boucles de l'Aulne, originally named Circuit de l'Aulne from 1935 to 1998, is a prestigious one-day French cycling race held in Châteaulin since 1935. Initially an amateur race, it opened its roads to professionals in 1999 and has been a part of the UCI Europe Tour as a 1.1 category race since 2005. Known for its challenging circuit that often includes multiple ascents of the Menez Quelerc'h, a hill with an average gradient of 6.9% over 2.9 kilometers, the race demands both strategic prowess and climbing ability from its participants.
