Reverse a route

See whether a ride scores better the other way round, then flip it so that the start and finish swap.

Riding a loop the other way can change everything, because the headwind may come while you are fresh and the tailwind on the way home.

The Reverse button at the bottom of an open ride shows the change in score, such as +2. A higher number means the ride is better the other way at that time. The comparison is a Pro feature, but anyone can reverse a route.

Reverse the route

Select Reverse, or choose Reverse route from the … menu. The start and finish swap and the ride is scored again.
