Women's and men's rides

A ride or group can be for women or for men. You're asked once who you're riding as, and only Plus1 sees the answer.

Rides where everyone knows who they're for.

Saved for no signal

Rides you're on this week are saved on your phone: the meeting point, the what3words and who's going.

The details are there when the signal isn't.

Easier for riders

Routes, with the GPX

See the route on the map with the distance and climb, and get the GPX for your bike computer. The first and last 500 m stay hidden, unless that end is the meeting point.

Know what you're in for. Nobody's front door on the map.

Easier for riders

Pinned ride updates

The host's latest update sits at the top of the ride. Change the time or place and the update posts itself.

Nobody misses the change of plan.

Activity in your Inbox

Comments, updates and invites from the last month in one list. Notifications off? Plus1 tells you when you join, and one tap turns them back on.

Catch up without scrolling a group chat.

Thanks after the ride

An hour after the ride, Plus1 asks you to thank who came. Tell the group how it went if you want to. Most people just say thanks.

A thank you is how strangers become a crew.

riding mates, and who's out now

Active now: someone's out riding right now, with friends riding now and a rough area on the map, never an exact spot.
Active now shows who's out near you. Roughly, never exactly.

Riding mates and your Plus1 code

Scan a rider's Plus1 code in person and you're riding mates straight away. Or share your link and they get a request.

Keep the good ones. Know when they head out.

Going out? Choose who sees you: Everyone, Mates or Just me. Riders see a rough square, never your exact spot, and it ends on its own.

Ride on your own, and still find company.

Trail reports that last

Say a trail's running great, muddy or closed. A closure stays up for a week, a month, two months or until it reopens, and anyone nearby can say it's open again.

Know before you drop in.

Epic trails, secret spots and places near you

Call a trail epic, pin a secret spot for riders nearby or just your mates, and see the café and bike shop nearest you while you're out.

Local knowledge, from riders who were just there.

Pop-up rides

questions riders ask

Do I have to be an experienced rider?

Not at all. Every ride says its level, and rides marked Beginners welcome or No-drop are one filter away. Not sure? Ask the host a question on the ride before you go.

Do I need the app to see a ride?

No. Every ride and group has a web page anyone can open. To join a ride, check in or add a riding mate, you need the app.

Can people see where I am?

Only roughly, and only when you choose. When you go out, pick Everyone, Mates or Just me. Riders see a rough square, never your exact spot, and your session ends on its own. Routes on rides hide the first and last 500 metres too.

What's the Garage?

A service tracker for your bike, inside the app. Pick your bike, give it your miles or a rough idea of how much you ride, and Plus1 shows which parts are fine, coming up or due. It's built on the part makers' service intervals, adjusted for e-bikes and wet riding. Every number is a best guess, so you can tell it when a part's still fine. There's more in how the garage works.

What disciplines does it cover?

MTB, trail, enduro, downhill, XC, gravel, e-MTB and road. A ride can have more than one, so MTB and e-bike riders both know they're welcome.
