Good roads, good people, every ride kept. Cornr is where riders find roads, build a route in seconds, check the weather along the way, ride with their crew and keep every ride to relive and share. Built by riders, for riders. FIND AND BUILD ROUTES • Generate a loop from where you are: pick 20, 30, 50, 75 or 100 km and Cornr shapes the ride. Avoid motorways, tolls or ferries if you like. • Explore routes created by other riders near you or anywhere in the world, with distance, difficulty and ratings. • Build your own route with several stops, or import a GPX file. • Plan on the big screen at ridecornr.com and the route is on your phone the moment you save.
