Before an official ROUVY event, we send you an email reminder with a calendar invitation (an .ics file), so the event can sit in your calendar next to everything else you've planned.
How you open the .ics file depends on your device and the email app you use. Pick yours below.

Official events only We send calendar invitations only for official ROUVY events. Private events created by riders don't come with an invitation. |
On a computer (Windows or Mac)
Your computer usually opens an .ics file in your default calendar app, such as Outlook on Windows or Apple Calendar on Mac.
- Open the email with the invitation.
- Click the yellow button to get the invitation. This downloads the .ics file.
- Open the downloaded file. Most browsers show it under the download icon in the top bar, and it's saved in your Downloads folder.
- Follow the prompts to add the event to your calendar.
Google Calendar
If you use Gmail and the event doesn't land in your Google Calendar on its own, you can import the .ics file yourself:
- Open the email with the invitation and click the yellow button to download the .ics file.
- Open Google Calendar.
- Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner and select Settings.
- In the menu on the left, choose Import & export.
- Under Import, click Select file from your computer.
- Select the .ics file you downloaded.
- Choose the calendar you want to add the event to, then click Import.
Google Calendar confirms the import, and the event shows in your calendar.
Outlook
If you use Outlook and the event isn't added automatically, you can import the .ics file yourself:
- Open the email with the invitation and click the yellow button to download the .ics file.
- Open your Outlook calendar.
- Drag the downloaded .ics file into the calendar window, or go to Calendar > Add Calendar > Import/Export and follow the prompts.

- Tap the yellow button to get the file.

The event is now in your Calendar app, together with any reminders it comes with.

The event now shows in your calendar, with reminders based on your calendar settings.
