Way back in march this year I already made a post in the Cycling Community about Useful cycling apps and websites.
A few days ago I asked what your favourite cycling apps and websites are in this blog:
@hive-177745/what-are-your-favourite-cycling-apps-or-websites
There are already a few reaction on the blog and 
My apps and websites
I mainly use the apps Komoot and Strava. Komoot for creating the routes and Strava to look into the details of my ride afterwards.
I have made a post about Komoot in the past; check it out here: @friendlymoose/komoot-a-great-website-mobile-app-for-route-planning-and-navigation
As I mentioned in an earlier post I also use the website windfinder.com to determine in which direction I should start my ride (I always start with a headwind),
And when I go abroad I user climbfinder.com to check out which climbs are in the neighbourhood.
My newest discovery: Epic Ride Weather
While scrolling around on X (formerly known as Twitter) I stumbled upon a post of a guy that used the app Epic Ride Weather. It looked very interesting, so I decided to check it out.
With the Epic Ride Weather app can do a forecast and give you all weather info for a given ride you have planned on a certain day/time. It shows the following information:
- Temperature
- Precipitation and cloud cover
- Wind (and gusts)
- Wind direction
- Elevation
- Daylight
- UV index
- Humidity
When you open the app you can select the routes by connecting your favourite cycling apps. You can import a ride you already registered in Strava or any other app or you can import a new ride you created in Komoot or even import a GPX file.
One you imported the ride you can schedule a starting date and time and set an average speed.
With this information the app can create a forecast for your ride.
The forecast shows all the information I mentioned earlier. Here I zoom in on the wind. It shows the wind speed, the power of the gusts and the direction of the wind along the route.
I use the information about the wind and rain the most, but during holidays in sunny areas the temperature will also be useful. With this information you can schedule your ride so you might not get wet and get the most benefit from the wind and be home before it gets too hot.
The app has replaced the use of windfinder.com and the local weather forecast.
It's available in the Apple and Google Play Store.
