Description

If you ride a bike, this app is for you. From pro WorldTour teams to casual riders, Epic Ride Weather helps cyclists to achieve their goals, get out more often, and have more fun on the bike.

* Pick just the right kit every time.

Epic Ride Weather provides personalized weather forecasts that take into account your speed and location, combining multiple forecasts to give you a precise projection of weather for the duration of your ride.

How It Works

Epic Ride Weather connects with your favorite GPS app such as Strava, Ride With GPS, Garmin, Komoot and Plotaroute. You pick the route, set the start time and Epic Ride Weather provides a forecast for the whole ride.
A distinct forecast is provided for every 10 minutes of ride time, based on the location that you'll be at that time. With unmatched hyperlocal forecasting from DarkSky, you'll see how temperature, wind speed and direction, and probability of rain vary throughout the ride.

Pick the best time of day to ride based on your route and pace, with the best (or worst) conditions shown for start times throughout the day.

Strava Segments: Your favorite segments are shown alongside your activities and routes. Segments can be sorted by current weather conditions, showing those with the highest tailwind first based on the forecasted wind speed and yaw angle. Today could be your day to best your PR!

Professional cycling teams signed up to the VeloViewer WorldTour package can connect their Race Hub directly with Epic Ride Weather. State-of-the-art weather forecasting can be used to inform race day tactics and strategy for any upcoming stage, race, ITT, TTT or prologue from VeloViewer Race Hub.

Just an awesome cycling support app

Love this product complete forecast for ride planning and forecasting critical weather indicators like winds, temperatures, rain etc. can’t plan a ride without it.

Indispensable!

I live in the northern Rockies and bike year-round. The weather is tough to predict in the mountains, but technology has made the weather-guessers so much better. The proper application of this technology through Rpic Ride has helped me properly chose my routes and gear and has lead to far more enjoyable rides. This app helps me live by the old adage, “There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.” I will ride in the wind, but I prefer to let it blow me home. Again, big win here with forecasting direction and magnitude at the precise place and time I will be on my route. Sure, I could pack the kitchen sink every time I ride (and occasionally have to), but this app helps me avoid overpacking. I worry less and ride more.

Will not connect to RidewithGPS

App will not connect to my ridewithgps account. Too bad it seems like a good idea.

Didn’t work and then expired!

I tried this app linked to RidewithGPS. I did not purchase it, so was on the free trial mode. I tried to get it to forecast a route I was planning and it would just come back with an error and never did work. Then, in less than a day it aside my free trial was over and wanted me to pay. NO THANKS. I agree, my trial is over. This app not ready. The idea is great. Maybe after some more development.

Great product but slipping

I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. It's really a great product but lately it's been slipping. There has been a performance downgrade in soled and accuracy since the shift to Apple weather. I'm. It sure what service they were using before but at least in my experience they absolutely nailed it. Since then the accuracy has been fine but noticeably like accuracy than before. Also the speed, loading, etc has decreased since the switch. I'm not sure if that's related or not.

Essential application for cyclists

Extremely useful application for any cyclist that rides outdoors. Overlays weather data with your planned cycling route, departure date/time and speed. It allows you to make educated decisions regarding what route to take on any particular day, what clothing to wear, and what time to ride. I especially appreciate knowing wind direction and speed. The application is very easy to use and the output is easily shared with your riding partners. I lead a lot of rides with my cycling club in Chicago and always use this app as conditions can change, depending on which direction we travel and who doesn’t want to have the tailwind home….. Well worth the subscription price.

Perfect

Just what I need for long days in the saddle.

Love the app

I have been doing very long rides 200-600 km and this app has been a tremendous help to check & prepare for the weather along the route. One request. Many of the routes are either out & back or have long common sections. When the predictions show wind, for these cases it’s hard to distinguish between head & tailwind. It would be great if head & tailwind can be given different colors.

You need this App!

Hands down the best weather app for cycling adventures.

Amazing app, amazing support

7 friends and I are about to embark on a 3-day ride from Grand Junction, CO to Moab, UT later this week. Given that it’s early May in the Rockies, we are concerned about weather (including possible snow). I discovered Epic Ride Weather, and uploaded our route. The .gpx file has all 3 days as one ride, so I couldn’t figure out how to separate each day’s ride for accessing the weather for each day, as the app assumed I was riding straight through, without stopping at designated spots each day. I reached out to the developer, David Green, on a Saturday morning, and within minutes, he responded and walked me through how to accomplish what I was trying. I now know the forecast for each day’s segment, and was happy to learn that there was no rain or snow in the forecast (I’m wondering if David can do anything about the expected headwinds!). Thanks, David, for a great app and even better support.
