No dragging a line around a map. That's the whole setup.

Step 2: Pick a loop

Stiip hands you a list of loops, hilliest first. Each card shows:

  • D+, total climbing, in metres. Bigger = harder.
  • Distance and m/km, how relentless the hills are.
  • Time, a rough ride estimate.

Tap one to see it drawn on the map, with its elevation profile (the picture at the top of this page).

Every loop even gets a name. Ride The Stavelot Reckoning and brag about it later.

Step 3: Send it to your GPS

  • Download GPX, load it on a Garmin or Wahoo, or import to Strava or Komoot.
