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.

What makes cycling in the hills of mountains so special? The challenge, the view, the scenery or cycling together with friends? Everyone has their own memories and highlights while biking through the famous hills, or even more over those epic high mountains. Our app helps you achieve your cycling dreams of conquering those iconic mountains from the world of professional cycling. You will never forget that climb because it is now in your myCols profile. A personal profile with all your climbs, times, challenges, jerseys and stories. Moreover, you will find all the details and the app even calculates all your climbing times.
What makes myCols so special?
We have a detailed list of 8000 cols (and more added regularly)
You can search through a list of 8000 famous and less famous climbs in our app. All climbs are provided with a detailed profile, length, height difference, average gradient, region, country, starting point and end point on a map.
We connect our app with Garmin, Strava, Suunto or Wahoo
When connected to Garmin, Strava, Suunto or Wahoo we analyse all you rides and we make a list of all your climbs based on those rides in the past. We even update your profile automatically based on your new rides and climbs.
See your own efforts in your own profile
Based on our own analyses we calculate your climbing times. You even get a message when you conquer some new climbs or made a new personal best time. You can compare your own climbing times with your own past climbing times, climbing times from your friends or even climbing times of some Pro riders.
We don’t have a KOM or QOM because we truly believe that the joy of climbing new mountains gives you more satisfaction, and that is what our app is about.
Make your bucketlist
You can make a list of climbs you still want to conquer. Make a list of climbs you want to conquer while your are on your cycling holiday, or put a climb you just saw on television directly on your bucketlist.
Join our virtual jersey challenges
Compete in virtual challenges based on real climbs! You can find lots of climbs in our app whom are part of our Jersey challenges. When completing all the climbs which are part of the Jersey you get a cool virtual Jersey in your trophy cabinet. With some Jersey challenges you can even win real prizes. We will annouce them in our mailings.
No generic challenges like ride 300km in a month. Because we use real climbs, the Jersey ones are of course much more special and often even epic. You can be really proud if you have earned one of our Jerseys.
Connect to your friends or even follow Pro riders.
Follow your friends while you both are conquering the greatest cols! Find your friends in the app (or invite them), follow them, and enjoy their activities in your timeline. So you are the first to know if your friend conquered that mighty Ventoux or the epic Stelvio.
Share your stories and
Tell everyone your story about that one tough climb, or just that nice little climb in your neighborhood. What made that climb so special for you, what memories do you have of it? Add your story to each col with your best photos or read the stories of other users. Or just use the stories to show off and shine, which of course is also fine.
Cheer for your friends
What's better than watching your friends conquer the most beautiful climbs? Right, cheering them on! From now on it is possible in the app to reward their best rides with a "Bravo!". Oh, and this also works for stories.
