Could you build this?

Partial While basic loop routing can use existing routing APIs, performing custom quality-of-road scoring and on-device loop generation at global scale requires custom offline map graph processing.

What it would actually take: The iOS application requires an embedded routing engine (such as an optimized on-device C++/Rust Open Source Routing Machine or Valhalla fork) compiled for mobile with pre-processed OpenStreetMap graph tiles. The routing algorithm requires custom edge weighting based on scenery, road surface, elevation changes, and safety metrics, alongside TSP/cycle graph search algorithms to construct pleasant circular routes offline. In addition, CoreBluetooth integration is needed to handle real-time cycling sensor protocols (power, cadence, ANT+/BLE radar).
