Ride Brief

See the ride before the ride.

A single pre-ride document with everything that matters — route-aware weather, wind analysis, climb profiles, fueling targets, clothing guidance, and hazard alerts.

Not a forecast. A briefing.

Weather apps show you a city. Ride Brief shows you your route — kilometer by kilometer, hour by hour, with every decision already made.

Active Alerts

Crosswind advisory: NW gusts 35 km/h on exposed ridge (km 68–84). Reduce power, hold line.
Temperature drop: Summit wind chill near 2°C at Passo Manghen. Layer before descent.
Hydration risk: Temperatures above 18°C from km 110. Increase fluid intake 20%.

Route-Aware Weather

Temperature, precipitation, and conditions mapped to specific points on your route — not your start location.

Standard forecasts give you one number for one location. Ride Brief gives you conditions at every critical checkpoint along your actual route, accounting for altitude changes, microclimate shifts, and time-of-day progression.

Wind Segment Analysis

Direction, speed, and tactical impact for every exposed section of your route.

A 25 km/h northwest wind means nothing in a valley. On an exposed ridge at km 72, it means a significant crosswind that changes your pacing, effort, and safety calculus. Ride Brief maps wind to terrain.

Climb Intelligence

Every significant gradient classified, profiled, and analyzed with pacing context.

Category, distance, average gradient, elevation gain, and a visual profile for each climb. ClimbSense factors in your position in the ride — a Cat 1 climb at km 30 demands different pacing than at km 120.

Fueling Targets

Caloric intake, carbohydrate pacing, and hydration targets calibrated to your ride.

Duration, intensity, temperature, and altitude all affect caloric burn and fluid loss. FuelSense calculates precise targets — not generic ranges — for your exact ride conditions.

Clothing Guidance

Layer-by-layer recommendations that adapt to route-point weather changes.

A ride that starts at 9°C in cloud cover and ends at 23°C in direct sun needs three clothing changes. LayerSense tells you what to wear, what to pack, and when to switch.

Hazard Alerts

Active warnings for conditions that could affect safety, performance, or comfort.

Crosswind advisories on exposed sections. Temperature drop warnings before descents. Heat stress indicators on long valley stretches. Every alert is route-specific and actionable.

Active Alerts3 active
Crosswind Advisory
Warningkm 68–84

NW gusts 35 km/h on exposed ridge (km 68–84). Reduce power output, hold line into the wind. Avoid aero position.

Temperature Drop
Cautionkm 88–92

Summit wind chill near 2°C at Passo Manghen (km 90). Layer before descent — do not start the descent without wind protection.

Hydration Risk
Advisorykm 110+

Temperatures above 18°C from km 110. Increase fluid intake by 20% in the final 30 km.

Every number is route-aware.

The difference between a weather app and a Ride Brief is context. Every data point is tied to a specific kilometer, a specific hour, and a specific terrain feature.

Everything in one place

Weather, wind, climbs, fueling, clothing, and alerts — consolidated into a single pre-ride briefing.

Route-native
Not location-based

Every data point references a specific kilometer of your actual route, not a weather station near your start.

Decision-ready
No interpretation required

Ride Brief translates raw data into actionable guidance. You read it. You ride.

Get the briefing your ride actually deserves.

RideBrief is a new category of cycling tool — not a weather app, not a route planner. A complete pre-ride intelligence system.
