Routes that fight the wind so you don't have to

1. Set a distance. How far you want to ride, in kilometres. The loop is built outward until it has spent half of that, then turned for home — ask for 45 and you get close to 45, not a wander out to 60.

2. Set a start time. The forecast is read for the hour you are actually riding, from the point you are actually leaving — not for the day in general. A 07:00 start and a 17:00 start on the same day can produce completely different loops.

3. Set your average speed. This decides where on the map you will be at each hour, so the wind is read for the time you actually reach each stretch rather than the time you set off. On a long ride the difference is a whole weather window.

4. Say what you want to ride on. Three switches, all off by default: keep out of town centres, skip ferry crossings that may not be running, and steer around klinkers and poor surfaces.

5. Generate. Wind Ride builds the loop in both directions, scores each against the wind along its whole length, and keeps the better one. Ask for three alternatives at once and it returns three genuinely different shapes to compare.

6. Shape it, if you want to. Drag the line anywhere on the map and only that stretch reroutes — the rest of your ride is untouched. Add waypoints to send it past somewhere specific, and undo if a drag went somewhere you did not mean.

7. Download the GPX. Straight into Garmin, Komoot, or wherever you plan from. Every ride you save stays in your Downloads page to fetch again later, and a share link hands someone the shape and the numbers without your name or your address.

• Weather warnings on the map Rain, thunderstorms, gusts and strong sustained wind inside your ride window — read for the hours you are actually out, not the day as a whole.
  

  ⚠gusts up to 68 km/h expected during the ride

  ⚠rain likely during the ride (85% chance, up to 4.2 mm/h)
• Road works, where we know about them Where published closure data covers your area, affected stretches are marked on the map so you can see one before you meet it. It is an extra pair of eyes, not a guarantee — treat anything unmarked as unknown and ride to what is actually in front of you.
  
• Works on a phone, and installs like an app The map fills the screen and the controls fold away into a sheet at the bottom. Add it to your home screen and it opens in its own window with its own icon — no browser bars, no app store, and it keeps working the same way.

• Bring your own route Import a GPX, TCX or KML from Garmin, Komoot, RideWithGPS or Strava and Wind Ride scores it against the forecast without changing a metre of it. You get the same wind colouring, the same timeline and the same download — on the route you already planned.

  Bring in a route you already planned — Garmin Connect, Komoot, RideWithGPS, Strava — and see it against the wind.

One thing said plainly: a generated route is a suggestion. It will warn you about road works that have been reported, but not about the ones nobody reported, and never about the ice or the lorry. You are riding it, so you judge the conditions on the day.
