Filled in from the forecast for today in Klaipėda (feels like -2 °C, gusts 11 m/s, rain 24%). Change it to match your ride.
Rule of thumb: you should feel slightly cold for the first 10 minutes. Everyone feels the cold differently – adjust to yourself.
Pick a distance and surface – we'll suggest routes from our route library.
💨 Today the wind blows from the south-east (6 m/s, gusts 11). Ride the first half towards the south-east – into the wind – and come home with a tailwind.
No routes match – try another distance or surface.
The wind tip uses the forecast for the daylight riding window. Routes with a GPX file also show whether they start into the wind.
A starting point for your ride – fine-tune by feel.
Never go above the maximum pressure printed on your tyre or rim (hookless rims: usually max 5 bar / 72 psi). Lower pressure = more grip and comfort, higher = faster on hard surfaces but harsher.
How much to drink and eat on the ride – so you don't bonk halfway.
General sports nutrition guidance, not medical advice. Test new gels and drinks on training rides, not at an event.
Enter your plan – we'll tell you when you'll be back and whether you need lights.
Sun times for Klaipėda. In forests it gets dark ~20 minutes earlier. Take lights on every ride in autumn and winter anyway.
From October to March most evening rides end after sunset. Check your kit before you leave – and read how we ride together in the dark.
Lithuanian traffic rules: in the dark and in poor visibility a bicycle must show a white light at the front and a red light at the back and have reflectors; a cyclist riding on the road must also wear a high-visibility vest (or reflective clothing). Riders under 18 must wear a helmet. In our rides lights and a helmet are mandatory for everyone.
Tick off your kit before the ride (your phone remembers it), and open the guide when something happens.
Winter is the best time to get the bike ready for spring – bike shops get busy in March. Tick off what's done (your phone remembers it).
Not sure about brakes, bearings or torque? Leave it to a bike shop – safety first.
