Epic Ride Weather forecasts the conditions for your entire ride, based on your route, start time and pace. See the wind, rain, temperature, and air quality you'll encounter along the way, at the time you'll actually be there. Load your route, set your start time and pace, and see the wind, rain, temperature, and air quality you'll encounter along the way. Official weather supplier to Team Visma | Lease a Bike, used for race strategy at the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España. Use Epic Ride Weather to: • Choose the best time of day to ride • See where you'll get a headwind, tailwind, or crosswind • Know when and where rain is likely • Pick the right kit before you leave • Plan long rides and multi-day tours around changing conditions WEATHER ALONG YOUR ROUTE Weather can change a lot over four hours and 100 km (60 miles). A city forecast can't tell you about the headwind or a 10 degree temperature drop by the time you crest the climb at 11 am. Epic Ride Weather combines your route and expected pace to forecast temperature, feels-like temperature, wind, precipitation, and more, at the time you'll reach each part of your route. UNDERSTAND THE WIND See wind speed and direction along your route, relative to the way you're riding. Know where the headwind starts, where you'll get a tailwind, and which way to ride the loop. FIND THE BEST TIME TO RIDE Compare start times throughout the day. Two hours can be the difference between a soaking and a dry ride, or between a strong headwind and a calm evening. AIR QUALITY ALONG YOUR ROUTE See the Air Quality Index along your route, with details on individual pollutants. See where air quality is worst and when conditions improve, especially when wildfire smoke is changing with the wind. USE THE ROUTES YOU ALREADY HAVE Connect to Strava, Ride with GPS, Komoot, Garmin Connect, Trailforks, MapMyRide, Plotaroute, and Runkeeper, or open a GPX, FIT, or TCX file. You can also forecast Strava Segments to see which of your favorites have the wind behind you today. Professional teams can connect directly to VeloViewer Race Hub. BUILT FOR CYCLISTS Road, gravel, mountain, bikepacking, commuting, racing: anything where you're outside long enough for the weather to change.

It’s basic and simple, but it’s perfect for what I need, especially on my longer bikepacking rides. I connected it to my Ride With GPS account, so, as long as I’ve planned an approximate route ahead of time, it makes it very easy to set my weather expectations for the day and next few hours—whether to have my poncho at the ready, when I should think about reapplying sunscreen, how much headwind or tailwind to expect, etc. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! I use the app for bikepacking too, and I’m glad it’s useful for you! david@epicrideweather.com ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-12-26, version 2.3.187* Works great! ### 5/5 — Genial *2025-09-30, version 2.3.182* Es simplemente genial, sencilla de usar, y buenísima para saber el tiempo y sobretodo para saber la dirección del viento en tus salidas con la bicicleta. Yo siempre que vaya hacer una ruta miro antes la dirección, para tener siempre el viento a favor a la vuelta. Me encanta esta aplicación! Es muy recomendable!! ### 5/5 — Pour les mangeurs de bitume *2025-09-08* Graveliste je suis moins concerné mais cette solution sera utile sur route comme peut l’être une prevision du vent pour les marins **Developer response:** Hi, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. Epic Ride Weather includes a 30-day free trial so riders can explore the app before committing. Please feel free to contact me directly at david@epicrideweather.com — I’d be happy to offer you a full refund. ### 5/5 — Certainement utile en vélo de route *2025-08-25* Ce qui m’a donné l’envie de tester est la possibilité de l’appairer avec l’excellent GPS Hammerhead, tout marche parfaitement; pour ma part en Gravel l’utilité est moindre mais c’est une appréciation personnelle. ### 5/5 — Epic! *2025-08-24, version 2.3.177* Really helpful for planning rides. ### 5/5 — Great app for riders and outdoor enthusiasts *2025-06-04, version 2.3.166* Love using this app for planning my rides. Would be great to update with air quality status. ### 4/5 — Garmin?!? *2025-05-26* Quando teremos as atualizações ao vivo no garmin? **Developer response:** Thanks for your interest in real-time weather on Garmin! We recently launched this feature for the Hammerhead Karoo, and it’s great to hear there’s interest on the Garmin side as well. While it’s not available on Garmin devices at the moment, I’ll be sure to share any updates if that changes in the future. In the meantime, I’d love to hear more about how you’d like to use it—feel free to reach out at david@epicrideweather.com —David Epic Ride Weather ### 2/5 — Consistently incorrect temps *2025-05-21, version 2.3.165* I’ve yet to see accurate temperature forecasts. Supposedly taking data from Apple Weather, so why don’t the values match? ### 4/5 — Very Useful!! *2025-05-08, version 2.3.165* A very useful app for any cyclist.
