I really want to join a trip but I'm not sure I have the level or experience ...
Level
With us, there’s no stopwatch. We start together and we finish together. To ensure every rider finds the adventure that truly suits them, we offer 5 levels of difficulty, from 1/5 to 5/5, detailed below. The level of each trip is displayed at the top of the trip page, on the header photo. If you’re still unsure, simply write to us at bonjour@gravelup.earth and we’ll get in touch to help you assess your level.
Level 1/5 – Perfect for gravel beginners These 2 to 3-day trips include easy, non-technical routes with limited elevation gain. E-bikes welcome.
Level 2/5 – For occasional riders 2 to 3-day trips with slightly more demanding paths and moderate elevation gain. E-bikes welcome.
Level 3/5 – For regular riders 3 to 5-day adventures featuring varied routes with up to 1,500 m of elevation gain. E-bikes welcome.
Level 4/5 – For active cyclists 5-day itinerant trips with terrain that can sometimes be technical and challenges requiring good fitness — but always in a non-competitive, supportive spirit: “We start together, we finish together.” E-bikes welcome.
Level 5/5 – For experienced riders These 3 to 5-day trips (depending on the destination) require solid technical skills and strong endurance. The routes take you to remote playgrounds and wilder landscapes. E-bikes welcome.
