Route Analysis
Elevation profile, terrain character, surface mix, and an effort breakdown across each section of the route. High-speed road segments flagged for caution.
📜
Local History
AI-researched history of every town, landmark, and crossroads along your route — a starting point for your own exploration, not a substitute for the road itself.
Fuel & Reward
Four categories every brief: refuel, independent coffee, local cycle shop, and a post-ride brewery, pizza, or burger — chosen for cyclists, not tourists. Linked directly to Google Maps.

The process

Upload. Generate. Ride Informed.

Upload Your Route
Drop any GPX or FIT file — or import directly from RideWithGPS. RideIntel reads the track, maps elevation, breaks down the surface mix, flags high-speed road segments for caution, and identifies every town, ridge, and landmark you'll pass through. No matter how you record your ride, visit here for instructions on how to export your .gpx and .fit files.
AI Route Research. Your Ride to Discover.
RideIntel cross-references elevation, street imagery, local history, and verified place data to research any route you want to ride — anywhere. There's no substitute for a ride report, and we know it. We're the starting point: the research that helps you arrive better armed, better prepared, and more curious about what's out there.
Share, Explore, and Save
Your brief is made to ride — and made to share. Share a link with your group. Export the route directly to your RideWithGPS account — the full brief populates the description, ready to navigate, and curated fuel and reward stops are added automatically as GPS waypoints directly on your route map. Explore granular elevation and slope detail in gpx.studio.

Built for Ride & Event Leaders

Ride Leaders

RideIntel is built for ride and event leaders. Posting this Saturday's ride, or building a season's calendar? Drop in your GPX files and get back a ready-to-post announcement or a full season document with a structured CSV — real local history included, not filler. It runs on the same route-research engine as the rest of RideIntel, so the local history and terrain notes are the same caliber of research we build for every brief in the Vault.

Ride Day Announcement — a few distance options from one start, tiered by length and ready to post
Ride Organizer — batch process a season's calendar into a document and a structured CSV
Real local history for every route, RideWithGPS links detected automatically — not filler
No account needed for your riders — announcements and calendars are built for you to post wherever your club already lives, from a newsletter to your RideWithGPS club page

Event Intelligence

As an event director, you're working harder than ever to meet rising rider expectations — hours spent researching, planning, and organizing the course notes, aid stations, and FAQs that make your event stand out. A RWGPS link, a website FAQ, and a PDF guide worked in the past. Today riders expect on-demand, accurate answers to what matters most — pre-ride and on course — and increasingly they turn to unreliable AI searches that return confusing slop about your event. Event Intelligence turns everything you've already compiled into an instant, natural-language guide your riders can ask directly — online or offline, on course or pre-ride, hands-free or by text, the same way they already ask any AI service or search engine today.

The authoritative alternative to a rider Googling it or asking a generic chatbot — during the weeks of buildup or mid-ride — and getting confusing slop back instead of the answer you already had on file
Built entirely from your own material — course notes, aid stations, GPX files, FAQs — and you review and approve it before a single rider sees it
Flags inconsistencies in your own material automatically — like a RWGPS update that never made it to the website or the downloadable guide
You never build or maintain any of it — RideIntel runs the platform, covers the compute costs, and writes the code that makes it work, then tests and troubleshoots it with you before your event goes live
Reference only, not navigation — turn-by-turn stays on a bike computer. And it never improvises on safety: any mention of a crash or injury always points straight to 911, never left to guesswork.
See the proof: a side-by-side comparison of Event Intelligence against a rider's real questions to Google and Claude. Contact info@rideintel.ai for a demo.

Towns & Communities

RideIntel connects cyclists with the authentic stories and hidden character of rural America. We partner with towns, municipalities, and counties to showcase great cycling routes and drive tourism to communities that deserve to be discovered. Your roads, your history, your local stops — beautifully told.

🚵
Event Promoters

We want to partner with race and ride event organizers to produce AI-powered course briefs that give every participant a deeper connection to the roads they ride. From gran fondos to gravel races, a RideIntel brief transforms a route into a story worth sharing before and after the event.

🌿
Non-Profits & Trail Builders

RideIntel is committed to supporting organizations working to expand access to cycling — whether through trail building, bikepacking advocacy, sustainable travel, or connecting riders with rural landscapes. If your mission advances human-powered adventure, we want to ride alongside you.

Our Mission
"Every road has a story. Every small town has a history worth knowing. RideIntel connects cyclists with the communities they ride through — and helps those communities be found."

No brief replaces a ride report. We're the research, not the experience.

Our international library is in its earliest days — routes from the UK, France, and beyond are coming. If you ride great roads outside the US, we especially want to hear from you.

Support RideIntel

Ride Further.
Give Back.

RideIntel is grateful for your support of our mission — helping riders share and learn more about the best rides in America and around the world.

Rural America's back roads are among the best cycling terrain in the world. They pass through living history — Civil War towns, agricultural heartlands, old mill villages, forgotten crossroads. RideIntel believes cycling is one of the most powerful ways to drive authentic tourism and economic connection to these communities — and we're building the platform that makes it happen.

RideIntel briefs are research-grade starting points, not ground-truth ride reports. Road conditions, surface quality, traffic, seasonal closures, and hazards change — and require current local knowledge that no AI tool can provide.
