Not really. Ride with GPS will record your ride and show you the stats, but it's a route and navigation tool, and a good one. It won't tell you whether six weeks of riding made you any fitter, or whether you're rested enough to go hard tomorrow. For that you need something riding shotgun.
Getting you somewhere good and back without standing at a fork in the trail arguing with your phone. Read their own plan page: planning routes on the web, turn-by-turn voice navigation, offline maps, heatmaps, custom cue sheets, printed maps. The free plan records rides and syncs with Garmin and Wahoo head units. The paid plans add the navigation and the deeper planning tools.
Notice what's not on the list. No fitness score. I don't mean that as a knock. It was never the job.
Distance, time, elevation, average speed, heart rate if you wore the strap. You get all of that for every ride. That tells you what Saturday was. It doesn't tell you what the last six weeks did to you.
Fitness is a trend. To see it, every ride needs an effort score in the same currency, and those scores get rolled into one slow line. Thirty flat miles and ten miles straight up can cost you the same, and the mileage total will never show it. I've recorded every ride since 2012, and I can tell you a big pile of miles is a great thing to have and a lousy way to know if you're getting better.
Keep Ride with GPS for the route. Add something whose whole job is the trend. That's RideTool.
RideTool doesn't connect to Ride with GPS directly, and it doesn't need to. RideTool syncs with Garmin, Wahoo, and Strava. So if you load a Ride with GPS route on your head unit and go ride it, the ride lands in RideTool from the device on its own. Plan in one, ride, and the fitness read shows up from the other.
If the Ride with GPS phone app is the only thing you record with, there are two ways in. Send your rides on to Strava and connect that, or upload the FIT file.
Routes. No planner, no navigation, no offline maps, no cue sheets. You get a map of where you went and that's it. I built it to answer one question, am I getting better or letting it slip, and left the route-finding to the people who are good at it. $29 a year after a 14-day trial.
Connect Strava, Garmin, or Wahoo and RideTool turns every ride into a plain-English read on your fitness. It comes to you by email, as often as you choose, so there's no dashboard to remember. $29 a year, no ads, your data stays yours.
