There's more to the search than the Race filter. You can also narrow events down to a date and time range, show only official ROUVY events or only the ones you've joined, and look up a particular organizer by name. It's all covered in Event search in the ROUVY app.

Inviting riders and your club

After you click Create Event, the invite page opens. Inviting is optional: skip it to keep the race private.

  • Your friends are listed there: invite them one by one, or use Invite all. To find someone else, search by name.
  • If you're in a club, your club is at the top. Click Invite next to it to invite all your club members at once. You can also tick Post to club feed and add a short message: it goes to the club feed with a link to the event. Nothing is sent until you click Send.
  • Riders you've invited, and your club, show as Invited.

When you're done, click Go to event to open the event detail.

  • Your created race appears in Upcoming events on both ROUVY.com and in the ROUVY app.

FAQ

My race result isn't on the leaderboard ▶

Race leaderboards include only rides on a trainer connected as Smart trainer, so ROUVY sets the resistance the same way for every rider.

You can still join and ride any race your setup is allowed into. But if your power comes from another device, such as a power meter, a stationary bike, or a classic trainer with a speed sensor, your result won't appear on the leaderboard. The ride still counts toward your XP and training.
