We had a close dialogue with our users, and based on this constructive dialogue, the RideTwister algorithm were developed. The RideTwister function comprises of three mechanisms: • Tour Calculator • Slider • Recalculation The mechanism developed is a unique algorithm which creates an unlimited number of tours. The algorithm analyses the most twisted tour based on your input of how you want to ride and how twisted you want the route to be. RideTwister Slider When sliding the RideTwister slider you get a more and more twisted route. Just slide until you have made the tour fulfilling your requirements.

Keep the slider on the actual level and recalculate to get tours with approx. same length and time.
