Certain routes slowly become favourites. Others rise in popularity because riders keep talking about them after doing these as group rides, races or major cycling events. Over the last few months, these are the ROUVY routes riders have been returning to again and again, whether for legendary climbs, iconic race routes or just because the scenery makes an indoor session feel far less like indoor training.
When most riders think about ROUVY routes, they usually think about the riding itself: the climbs, the scenery, the roads and the experience of riding somewhere completely different from home. What’s easier to miss is everything happening behind the camera.
Foot pain while cycling is common but it shouldn’t be part of your ride. Discover the causes behind burning feet, numb toes and sore arches – plus simple fixes that actually help.
RPE, or rate of perceived exertion, is a simple way to measure how hard a ride feels by rating your effort on a scale, usually from 1 to 10. For cyclists, RPE helps you judge intensity using breathing, muscle fatigue, focus and overall effort, even when power, heart rate or speed don’t tell the full story.
A ROUVY group ride is a scheduled virtual ride where you join other riders on the same real-world route. You ride together around a suggested pace set by a leader and stay connected as a group from start to finish.
Europe’s best cycling cafés aren’t just about coffee – they’re where exhausted climbers, gravel grinders and local legends all end up swapping stories over strong espressos and fresh, warm pastries.

A sore bum after a bike ride can take the fun out of cycling fast. The good news? Most causes of bike seat pain are easy to fix. Discover what’s behind the discomfort – and how to ride pain-free again.
Carbs per hour cycling is simply the amount of carbohydrate you take in during a ride to keep blood glucose stable, protect glycogen, and stop your legs quietly filing for resignation in the final hour.
