Official supplier to Team Visma | Lease a Bike If you ride a bike, this app is for you. From pro world tour 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. * Choose the best time of day to ride. * Plan to maximize the tailwind, and avoid a headwind on the way home. * Plan perfect hydration and nutrition. 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 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. The Epic Ride Weather app is free and comes with a 30 day trial with 1000 free forecasts which is about thirty or forty 100 km (60 mi) rides. Continued use requires a monthly or annual subscription. You can subscribe and pay through your iTunes account. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the Account Settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

Great for ride and big runs

I live in the mountains and weather can change at elevation. This app allows me to be better prepared when I head out. I’ve now used it for road bike, alpine MTB, alpine running and backcountry skiing!

excellent concept / weather data is poor

On sunny days this app is extremely useful to help one plan for long rides especially into the mountains to predict temp at elevation for picking how much cold weather gear to carry. CAVEAT - it is absolutely abysmal at rain predictions. In Crans Montana Switzerland it was POURING rain for 4 hrs and the app estimated precipitation at 5%. In Bormio, rain estimates of 7% with weather network estimating 80% (and yes it poured… i got caught in it badly). In Ottawa (no significant elevation to perhaps explain the discrepancy) again 3% rain prediction vs weather network 70% and it did pour! Sorry can’t pay for that.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with forecasts. In some cases I've found that forecast prediction issues can easily be corrected with a timezone setting, or there is a chance of a defect. Feel free to reach out for support since I'd like to help troubleshoot: david@epicrideweather.com

I wouldn’t plan a big ride without using it! Always accurate and integrates well with Strava.

I was dubious because there have not been enough ratings of this app yet. However it is a fantastic and reliable tool. Easy to use, communicates seamlessly with almost every ride app out there, and I have found it to be extremely accurate! My commute is over 20km and I go from inland near the base of a large hill to the coast. Now I know whether to take rain gear, winter gear, or both.
