Draw your ride on the map.
A free route builder for cyclists. Click waypoints, follow cycling roads or draw freehand, and see distance and elevation as you go. Save when you are ready — then plan the best time to ride with wind-aware forecasts.
Everything you need to shape a route.
From a quick coffee-loop sketch to a full club outing — build it on the map, then let Tailwind help you pick the best hour to roll out.
Free to start
Open the map and start clicking. No account needed to place waypoints and shape a route.
Snap to roads
Legs follow cycling paths between your clicks — ideal for road rides and most trails.
Freehand when you need it
Switch modes to draw across bridges, gaps, and paths the snap router cannot reach.
Distance and elevation
Stats update as you build, so you always know how long and how hilly the ride will be.
Loop, undo, clear
Close a loop back to the start, step back one click, or wipe the slate and try again.
Import GPX too
Already have a file? Upload GPX on the Routes page and score it alongside drawn routes.
Draw routes on the map.
Click to place waypoints. Snap legs to cycling roads, or switch to freehand for bridges and gaps. Saved routes get the same hourly scores as imported ones.
Score the ride before you go.
Once your route is saved, Tailwind scores it hour by hour using wind, rain, temperature, and your typical pace. The same loop can feel completely different depending on when you leave — we help you see that before you clip in.
