Group Ride

ROUVY GROUP RIDE allows you to share your rides with your friends or other athletes from around the world.

Enjoy riding in a group, stay motivated, don’t worry about your performance, and simply enjoy exploring the world. Challenge others to join the ride without any podium aspiration.

When exploring the ROUVY world with GROUP RIDE, you will be able to stay together with the Group Ride Leader, no matter your performance. Keep pedaling, and the ROUVY Magnet will keep you close to the Group Ride Leader by giving you extra power.

Click on the Events section in your ROUVY App - and you can see your group rides in the events lists.

ROUVY Magnet scenario

To stay next to the Group Ride Leader, one must produce the same effort/watts as the Leader.

When a rider produces less performance and starts losing distance, the magnet kicks in and starts helping the rider to stay with the group.

It works the other way too - if you decide to challenge your Group Ride Leader and ride much faster than him or her, our magnet will pull you back to the Group Ride Leader, allowing you to stay with the Group yet enabling you to give the extra effort you want to. It will get progressively more difficult to stay ahead.

There will be an indicator visualizing your position towards the leader (seconds behind or ahead of the leader) and performance savings against the leader.

Earning Coins for Group Rides

You can earn coins by participating in Group Rides. However, the rules for receiving rewards differ between official ROUVY Group Rides and user-created Group Rides.

Coins for Official ROUVY Group Rides

Official ROUVY Group Rides have a fixed amount of coins awarded upon Group Ride completion.
You can see the exact amount directly on the Group Ride tile in the preview or in the Group Ride details view.

You can easily identify official ROUVY Group Rides by a small crown symbol on a tile preview, and by an "Official" label on top of the Group Ride details.

Coins for User-Created Group Rides

User-created Group Rides award participants the standard coin amount for finishing the selected route plus an extra dynamic amount based on the number of participants.

When browsing user-created Group Rides, you can see both the current amount of participants and the maximum amount of coins you can get on the Group Ride tile.

The coin reward is calculated using the following method: 

Completion Coins:
the number of coins for completing the route
+
Participant coins:
