Accessible adventures across Europe

Adventure does not have to be extreme. Every route here is ridden first, and we tell you what to expect.

How hard is it?

Every ride has a level from 1 to 5. Our routes so far sit at 2 and 3, on purpose.

  1. 1 Easy Wide, firm paths and short days.
  2. 2 Accessible Mostly firm gravel, a few soft parts.
  3. 3 Adventurous Longer days, sand or rough bits.
  4. 4 Demanding Remote or rough. You need skills and spares.
  5. 5 Extreme Not what we are here for.

Who rides first

Loek Luijbregts

Rider, route maker and cycling tourism strategist. 30+ gravel regions ridden across Europe, Africa and beyond.

I choose where to ride first. A region can pay for a trip after that. It can never buy a place on this site. Paid and partner content is always labelled.
