Logging rides
Recording, editing, and removing your rides.
How do I log a ride?
From your dashboard, tap "Log ride" (or the + button) and fill in the details: distance, duration, elevation, a route name, the ride type, and any notes you want to keep. Save it and the ride is added to your history and counted in your stats.
How do I edit a ride?
Open the ride from your ride history and choose Edit. Update any of the details — distance, duration, elevation, route name, ride type, or notes — then save your changes.
How do I delete a ride?
Open the ride you want to remove and choose Delete. The ride is permanently removed from your history and your stats and personal records update automatically.
What are personal records?
RidePaced automatically tracks personal records from your logged rides — such as your longest distance, biggest elevation gain, and longest duration — so you can see your best efforts at a glance.
Settings
Units, your account, and your data.
How do I switch between kilometres and miles?
Go to Settings → Units and choose either kilometres or miles. Your distances and stats across the app will update to use your preferred unit.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings → Danger zone and choose to delete your account. This permanently removes your profile and all of your logged rides from our database. This action cannot be undone.
Is my ride data private and secure?
Yes. Your account is protected by Firebase Authentication and your rides are stored privately in Cloud Firestore. Data is encrypted in transit, and only you can access your own rides. We never sell or share your data with advertisers.
