Your first ride

Your first ride

  1. Get a route. On Routes, press Import GPX… (or drag files onto the window) — exports from Strava, Komoot, RideWithGPS or a bike computer all work, with or without elevation. Or plan one under Find a route. No route handy? The built-in Demo Loop is always there.
  2. Connect your trainer under Devices (see Connecting your trainer). No hardware? You can ride with the simulated demo rider.
  3. Press Ride. Choose what to ride against — pace riders, your own best (ghost), friends' rides — and optionally a workout or a group-ride room.
  4. The first ride on a route downloads its map and terrain (a few seconds to a minute); later rides start straight away.

Riding through Bourg d'Oisans

During the ride: Space pauses, C changes the camera (behind, high behind, alongside, overhead), and ↑/↓ change the ERG target, workout intensity or the demo rider's effort. See Riding for the rest.

After the ride: the summary shows your time, power, personal bests and badges. The ride is saved as a .FIT file, and can go to Strava in one click (see Strava).
