From gravel loops and road rides to long bikepacking journeys, the Longride route planner connects the route with what you need along the way. Choose profiles for individual sections, divide long tours into stages, and plan supplies and overnight stops together.
Plan short rides or long multi-day journeys. Touring bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes and mountain bikes have different requirements, and more than one profile may be useful within a trip.
The Longride vector map distinguishes roads, cycleways and path types. Topographic colours and hillshade make ridges and valleys easier to read. Together with the elevation profile, this helps you assess how a section fits into your stage.
Divide even very long routes into daily stages while preserving the full source track. Moving a stage finish updates the following split, and you can deliberately fix selected endpoints. A suitable overnight stop can end the day without having to redraw the rest of the journey.
Look for shelters, campsites and hotels listed as bike friendly near your route. Overnight guidance distinguishes tents, bivvies and shelters, taking recorded protected areas and local rules into account. If a place is unsuitable, check alternatives nearby.
Guidance applies within its stated scope and data date. Check linked sources, property rights and local signs; appearing in Longride does not establish general permission to stay overnight.
Supply options are found along your route even when you have not added them as stops. Saving more than one option gives you flexibility when you arrive late or plans change.
Your planned departure turns a weather map into a view of the day ahead. Longride shows weather along the route, wind direction and headwind or tailwind components. The expected temperature after riding also helps you prepare for the night.
Ride times, arrivals and weather are forecasts. Breaks, wind, fitness and data freshness affect your actual journey.
Longride checks the planned route against available online reports and OSM data for possible closures. Alerts help you review affected sections and plan alternatives. New or unreported closures may be missing; follow signs on the ground.
Save tours and personal places in folders and subfolders. Photos and reviews at community places help you assess a stop; you decide when to publish your own contributions. Selected tour or folder snapshots can be opened through a link without an account. Private notes and your home location stay protected. Export the route for a cycling computer or use a supported transfer option.
Yes. Import the GPX track and use local editing for the affected section. Unaffected geometry is retained and the required connections are recalculated. Check the result on the map and elevation profile.
Enable round-trip planning and choose places to visit. Longride assesses the return route against the outward journey and looks for a suitable alternative. Network bottlenecks or your exclusions can still make repeated sections necessary.
Stages are derived from the full source track. Moving a stage finish adjusts the daily split while preserving the overall original geometry. Deliberately fixed endpoints can be edited separately.
Ride times are model estimates based on the route and rider settings, with breaks treated separately. Opening hours come from available place data. Use both for planning and allow for wind, fatigue, delays or changed information.
No. Longride checks available online reports and OSM data, which vary in coverage and freshness. A new or unreported closure may still be missing after a check. Follow local signs and plan alternatives for critical sections.
Open the planner, place your first points or import an existing GPX track.
