Question 1

How fit do I need to be for a gravel cycling trip?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the trip — every expedition lists its difficulty honestly. As a rule, gravel cycling trips with Loaf are hard on purpose. See /how-fit-do-i-need-to-be for a per-trip breakdown, and expect a short call before you commit so we can tell you now rather than on the ground.

Question 2

Are gravel cycling trips guided by a real athlete?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Loaf expedition is led by the athlete whose name is on it — in person, on the route, for the hard parts. Not a hired guide, and not a guest appearance.

Question 3

Do I need to apply, or can I just book?

Accepted Answer

You apply. The group is picked because the wrong person on a hard trip ruins it for everyone. There's a short call after your application before you commit.
