Set It Up

Sign up

Three ways to start:

  • Strava — Click "Continue with Strava" on the login page. Your ride history pulls in automatically.
  • Wahoo — Click "Continue with Wahoo". Rides come straight from your head unit.
  • Email — Sign up with email and a password. Connect Strava or Wahoo later from your account.

Connect a source

Open the Ride Library (file icon in the nav bar) and click Data Providers:

  • Garmin Connect™ — New rides arrive automatically.
  • Wahoo — Pulls original files from your head unit. Use the sync history dropdown for older rides.
  • Strava — Good for an initial sync. Strava's data isn't as detailed as the file from your head unit.
Tip: If you ride with a Wahoo, connect Wahoo first — you'll get the full-resolution data from your device.

Bring in your history

Strava bulk export (best for Strava users)

Strava's API only gives you about 70% of what your device recorded. The bulk export gives you everything.

  1. In Strava, go to Settings → My Account → Download or Delete Your Account
  2. Click Request Your Archive
  3. Wait for the email (it can take a few hours)
  4. Download the ZIP
  5. In RideTool's Ride Library, click Strava Bulk Import and pick the ZIP

Drag in your files

Or just drop .FIT files onto the Ride Library. You can upload as many as you want.

Then what?

Once you've connected something, you're done. New rides flow in automatically. Your first email lands within 48 hours.

If a ride shows up from two sources, RideTool keeps the better one. See Connecting Strava, Garmin & Wahoo.
