Ride history

After every ride its summary appears: name the ride, upload it, then keep it with Done or Discard ride. Kept rides are on the History tab.

A ride's summary

Each ride shows:

  • Figures: time, distance, climbing, speed, power (average, normalized, maximum), intensity, TSS, work, heart rate and cadence.
  • Chart of power, heart rate and cadence over the elevation. Click a name in its legend, such as POWER, to hide that line; click it again to bring it back.
  • Time in zones for power and heart rate.
  • Power curve: the ride's best power for every duration, over your all-time best. A ★ marks a new best over 5 s, 1, 5, 20 or 60 minutes.

Beside the title:

Button Action
Pencil Rename the ride
Up arrow (Upload) Send it to intervals.icu or Strava
Down arrow (Export FIT file) Save a copy, e.g. to import into Garmin Connect
Bin (Delete ride) Delete the ride

Rides are saved as FIT files in profiles/<rider>/rides/. FIT files you copy in there appear in the history too.

Climbs and records

Torqa finds the climbs on every route and rates them by length × gradient:

Category From Example
Climb 3 000 1 km at 3 %
Cat 4 8 000 2 km at 4 %
Cat 3 16 000
Cat 2 32 000
Cat 1 64 000
HC 80 000 Alpe d'Huez

While riding, a panel shows the climb's category, distance to the top and your time against your best. At each summit and at the finish you see whether it is a personal record (★). Records count per rider and per course.

Where the rides live

Each ride is a FIT file with a small JSON file beside it, under profiles/<rider>/rides/ in the data directory. To list hundreds of rides without opening each file, Torqa keeps an index of them in its cache folder; it follows the files by itself and can be deleted at any time.
