Epic Ride Weather

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Just what I need for long days in the saddle.

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.

Hands down the best weather app for cycling adventures.

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.
