Great news for all cycling enthusiasts and clubs! 🚴‍♂️ Cyql has taken another big step in making the best routes more accessible. You can now easily link your Ride With GPS account to Cyql. With this new integration, planning and sharing your rides has never been easier. Read on to find out how to set up this connection and why it’s a game changer for your cycling club.

What is Ride With GPS and why this integration

Ride With GPS is a popular tool used by cyclists worldwide. The platform offers an extensive database of routes, detailed maps, and advanced planning features. With this integration, you can now use your favorite routes directly to create new rides for your cycling club.

After our successful integration with Strava, this is the second major connection designed to help clubs organize and enjoy beautiful, challenging rides together.

How does the integration work?
Setting up Ride With GPS in Cyql is simple and works just like Strava:

  1. Open the Cyql app and go to Settings.
  2. Select Linked Accounts.
  3. Choose Link Ride With GPS.
  4. Log in with your Ride With GPS account and grant permission.
  5. That’s it! You can now import routes from your Ride With GPS account and easily turn them into new rides.

This one-time setup eliminates the need to manually transfer routes. That means more time for what really matters: cycling! 🚴‍♀️
