There’s nothing more frustrating than starting a ride on ROUVY and realizing you forgot something important. This simple pre-ride (or pre-race) checklist helps you skip the frustration and stay focused on the ride, not the setup.
Get your space and gear ready
Before you clip in, make sure you have:
- Heart rate strap with a fresh or fully charged battery
- Towel for sweat
- Headphones, earbuds, or a Bluetooth speaker for music or Discord
- Full water bottles and any nutrition you’ll need
- Fan turned on and positioned correctly
A small table or stand next to your bike is also handy for keeping everything within easy reach.
Prep ROUVY and your setup
Take a moment to check the software side before you ride:
- Find your route and download it in advance
- Launch ROUVY early, in case there’s an update
- Check your weight and height in Profile Settings so your displayed values are accurate
- Pair all devices and confirm all batteries are charged
- Spin the pedals to wake up sensors and select the correct jersey, if needed
Once everything’s checked off, you’re ready to ride!
