We determine the heaviness of a trip broadly based on a variety of circumstances. Heaviness can be determined by distances or by the altimeters in distances. In addition, you already experience a ride on a gravel or mountain bike as "heavier" than a road bike ride.
Per category this is approximately what you may think of. Always negotiable with us are alternatives or adapted routes which also influence the heaviness.
