Everything you need to plan a ride or run, fill it, and get people there
Most of it works for any event. Cohosts, the message board and repeats are for events a club hosts.
Finding events
Two feeds, set to where you ride and run.
- Discover shows public events around you, or anywhere you set your search area.
- Following shows events from the clubs you follow.
- Filter by activity: rides, gravel rides, mountain bike rides, runs and trail runs. Virtual rides are on the drawing board.
Joining and the waitlist
A full event fills itself from the waitlist.
- Any event can have a participant limit.
- Once it’s full, people join the waitlist and keep their place in line.
- When a spot opens, the next person in line gets it automatically and is notified.
- Lowering the limit never removes anyone who’s already going.
Getting there
From joining to finding the group on the day.
- A reminder goes out 24 to 2 hours before the start, to everyone who joined at least a day earlier.
- In the app, add the event to your calendar or open the start in your maps app.
- While an event you’ve joined is under way, a bar in the app takes you back to it, so you can find the route if you fall behind.
Clubs
A club gives your events a name people can follow.
- People follow clubs and see their events in Following.
- A club is run by up to ten staff.
- Admins edit the club, manage the staff and create events. Organizers create events.
Hosting together
Run an event with other hosts.
- An event a club hosts can have up to two cohosts, for three hosts in all.
- Cohosts can post on the message board and answer questions, but can’t edit the event.
- Staff can join their club’s event in the same step as publishing it.
Repeats and copies
Set an event up once, and reuse it.
- A club can repeat an event weekly or monthly, for up to six months.
- Each repeat reuses the original image, or one from the club’s past events of the same activity.
- Copy any of your own events into a new form and change what you like.
Event details
Tell people what to expect before they join.
- Attributes: coffee stop, food stop, no-drop, women-only, intervals or race. Rides can also be a drop ride.
- Add a route link from Strava or wherever you plan the route.
Visibility and cancelling
Decide who can find an event, and change your mind.
- Public events show in feeds. Unlisted events don’t, so only people with the link can find them.
- A cancelled event stays visible, marked as cancelled, and you can restore it.
Message board
Questions and news stay with the event, not in a group chat.
- Events a club hosts have a message board.
- Staff of the hosting clubs post announcements, and anyone can ask a question.
- A question stays between the asker and the hosts until it’s answered, then both are public.
- The board stays open until 24 hours after the event.
Notifications
You hear when your plans change, and choose the rest.
- If you’ve joined, you hear when the start time or place changes, or the event is cancelled.
- Hosts choose whether an announcement notifies everyone who joined.
- You hear when your question is answered.
- Choose per club whether to hear about new events, and turn any kind of notification on or off.
Sharing
Every event is ready to post.
- Share straight to an Instagram story, with the link on your clipboard.
- Or copy the link, or use your phone’s share sheet.
- Links show a preview image, and open in the app for anyone who has it.
Images
Frame every photo the way you want it.
- Crop any image in the app: profile pictures, club avatars and covers, and event images.
- Event images show at 3:2, and at 9:16 in an Instagram story, so pick a photo that works both ways.
