Stage 01 · The game

Five minutes, four rivals

You start in a small bunch on a road that climbs, drops and bends. Steer, hold your line, brake before the fast corners and decide when to go.

Speed comes from power, and power is limited. Sit in the wheels and you save your legs. Ride on the front and the wind wears you down. How you ride matters more than how hard you press.

The courses run from three to three and a half kilometres, so a race takes about five minutes. That is the right length for a coffee, a bus stop or the last effort of a trainer session.

The Ride on an iPhone: the rider chasing three rivals down a road at sunset, with speed, power and heart rate on screen. The Ride on an iPhone: a climb at ten percent on the Hill climb course, the rider in fourth place.

Small game, real racing

What is in itTouch or trainerNo account needed
I

Four courses

A country road at sunset, a hill climb, a flat crit and a city circuit. Finish races and score points to unlock the next one.

II

Legs that tire

Sit alone in the wind and it gets heavier. Sprint too often and you pay for it. Bottles and drinks keep you going.

III

Smart trainers

Pair a Bluetooth trainer or power meter and your real watts move the rider. A heart rate strap works too.

IV

Structured workouts

Interval sessions built from your FTP, ridden on the same road so the hard minutes pass quicker.

V

Watts per kilo

Enter your weight in kilograms or pounds, see W/kg while you ride, and log your weight over time.

VI

Crashes and punctures

Hit the gravel too fast or lean on a rival and you may be standing at the roadside. You can switch it off.

A workout in The Ride on an iPhone: the target power, the time left and the interval chart above the road.
