Riding on gravel is already tougher then on the road, but then this distance....
Quite a ride...
That it why I always plan my rides ahead Creating a GPX file which I load in my Garmin Navigation.
I once came across the so-called man with the hammer on a ride that came out longer than I thought.
But you'll learn from those experiences.

I need one of those Garmin Navigators, so far I only got the gravel bike and the water bottle. My cycling shorts were a gift, and I'm still missing glasses, which are a must especially when raining or cold weather.
I definitely learned my lesson, next time I'll check the ride distance myself, and nothing past 60Km, I'm a heavy weight 110Kg 1.76m powerlifter, not a cyclist 😅 I do this as a hobby! My body is not ready or optimized for long distances.
You could alsontry to navigate on your phone. The free Komoot app can do that. You only have to buy a phone holder for your handlebars.Navigating with a slan app does drain your battery quickly.
By the way; when you can cover such a distance on a bicycle in one ride you definitely can call yourself a cyclist.
