No more guessing from the forecast at your front door. What it does - Real forecast along your route. Temperature, wind and rain sampled point by point, not just at the start. - Headwind, called early. See how much of the ride runs into the wind, and which way saves your legs. - Every climb, before you meet it. Length, gradient and elevation for each categorised climb. - What to wear. A clothing list matched to the coldest point of the day, so you dress once and get it right. - Fuel plan. Carbs, fluid and sodium per hour, plus what to pack and when to eat it. - Your garage.
