If you ride a bike, this app is for you. From pro world tour teams to casual riders, Epic Ride Weather helps cyclists to achieve their goals, get out more often, and have more fun on the bike.

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.

Ratings and Reviews
Exactly what I was looking for!
I live right on the coast of the North Sea and it’s windy all the time, at least recently! Although this is a very early review, it looks absolutely perfect for my needs. I always seem to get stuck with headwinds going uphill. I’ve connected it to Komoot and I have a few favourite rides I travel so it’s brilliant to be able to check the route against the weather. I haven’t figured out planning to avoid headwinds on the route yet but knowing the function is there a huge boon. Chuffed to find this.
Game changer!
Every so often an app comes along which immediately becomes something you cannot do without. I plan my routes using Komoot (another superb app) and this app is an invaluable resource in helping me to optimise the route according to the weather forecast. It’s worth the modest investment for the wind map alone. It works seamlessly with Komoot. An absolute game changer.

Thanks for the awesome review Sam! David
Change starting point of route?
This is brilliant for day rides. Living in Scotland I use it all the time.
For Bikepacking however, the ability to shorten the route (ie delete what you’ve ridden), and forecast the remaining would be awesome.
Example: I’m writing this from a café in Corfu where I’m hiding from a thunderstorm. I’m wild camping so I have no daily schedule, just my entire route on my Garmin and on my phone.
The ability to forecast the remainder of my route from my current location would be a gamechanger.
I’m guessing however that that kind of feature would need to be via a GPS app rather than this one?
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the great review. I use it for bikepacking too just like you! You can use the location button or slider at the bottom of the map to trim the route to your current location.
