Your riding, measured

Your pace, from your own rides

ETA works out your ride time from settings you guess: how hard you climb, how fast you descend. pace measures them from the rides you already have, so ETA and poi work with your numbers, not with sliders.

  • Average power, coasting included
  • How much harder you climb, and from which gradient
  • Where you stop pedaling on descents
  • How fast you descend on asphalt and on gravel
  • How long you stop for every hour of riding

The more rides with climbs and descents, the better: three or four hours together is a good start.

Optional: with the weight, your climbing shows in watts per kilogram.

Surface, where the file does not say

Garmin devices mark paved and unpaved stretches in the file, and pace uses them where they are.

Your files are read in memory and never kept.

Your bikes at a glance

Five things decide how fast you ride a route. Each comes from the bikit app that measures it: pace from your rides, roll from a tire test, aero from photos or a road test. A hollow point is still a guess, and its icon takes you where to measure it.

The dashed shape is what you are compared with: the median of bikit riders who measured that value, once at least 10 have, and until then a typical amateur: 150 W on average, 2.5 W/kg uphill, 40 km/h on steep asphalt and 28 on gravel, a road Crr of 0.0055 on asphalt and 0.0095 on gravel, CdA 0.32. Plus means faster.

What pace measures, and what ETA does with it

Average power

Over the time you move, coasting included, as your bike computer counts it. ETA spreads it over the route.

Climbing

How much harder you pedal up a climb than on the flat, and from which gradient you give it all. ETA rides the climbs your way and keeps your average.

Where you stop pedaling

The descent from which you only roll. From there on ETA lets gravity do the work, as you do.

Descending

Your speed on steep descents, on asphalt and on gravel: how much you brake for corners and the surface. ETA holds your descents there instead of at a style you guessed.

Stops

Minutes stopped for every hour of riding. poi adds them to your arrival times at shops and water.

What the files need

  • Rides on one bike. A gravel bike and a road bike ride differently, so measure each into its own setup.
  • A power meter, for power, climbing and where you stop pedaling. Without one pace still measures descents and stops.
  • Altitude from the bike computer's barometer, and some climbs and descents.
  • Ordinary rides, not races or intervals: pace should see how you usually ride.
