Discover the right Route
Search by keywords and apply filters to drill down on routes and rides by specifics like location, length, surface type, and how much climbing is involved.
Pro tip: if you aren't finding the route or routes you're looking for, check to see if you have any location search filters on. These may be too restricted for your needs.
Location - choose a primary location, and a distance radius. This will return routes with a start point within the set distance from your primary location.
Length - move the slider to specify the total distance range for route results.
Elevation - move the slider to specify the total elevation gain range for route results.
Surfaces - check boxes next to the surface types you want included in your results.
- Paved = 0-2% unpaved
- Mostly Paved = 2-15% unpaved
- Mixed Surfaces = 15-85% unpaved
- Mostly Unpaved = 60-95% unpaved
- Unpaved = 95-100% unpaved
Route Type
Check the boxes to select routes types to be included in your search.
- Loop Routes must start and end within 10% of the distance of the route, or 4 miles, whichever is shorter.
- Out & Back Route appears to overlap itself at least 65% of the time then we call it an out & back, otherwise it’s a loop.
- Point to Point If route does not overlap start/end, it is a point to point.

FAQs
A Ride is a recording/activity from a GPS unit or mobile app that contains a path with time information.
A Route, unlike a ride, does not have any time information associated with it. A route also typically has a cue sheet which is required for voice navigation.
A route is desired for navigation purposes. However, a ride can be converted into a route if desired.
How do I find a specific route?
Try searching for the name of the route using keyword search, and make sure you don't have any filters enabled that might restrict your results! These will show up as word bubbles underneath the keyword search box, and can be removed by clicking on them.
Why can I only find results in one area?
Double check your search location (this will default to a 10 mi / 15 km radius of your Home Location). Use the keyword search bar, or the map itself, to zero in on a different location.
