Ghosts and pacers

Ghosts and pacers

Pick someone to race under Race against on the course page. The ghost rides beside you as a see-through orange rider, and a panel shows how many seconds you are ahead or behind.

Option	The ghost is…
Your best on this route	your fastest finished ride on this course
Pacer at your FTP	a rider holding your FTP all the way
Pacer at a power…	a rider holding the power you set
Pacer at W/kg…	a rider holding that W/kg at your weight
A recorded activity…	a GPX (with times) or FIT file, e.g. a friend's ride

Pacers have your weight and bike, so a 250 W pacer is exactly as fast as you holding 250 W. Recorded activities are matched onto the course; detours off it are skipped.
