Know the climb before you're on it.
Saddlebag reads your route, your numbers and your bike, then tells you where it gets hard, what to eat, what to pack and what's due on the bike. Plan it, check it, pack it, then put the phone away.
Coming soon. Free on iPhone, iPad and Android, launching first in the Philippines.
- Your numbers
- Weight, FTP and how you ride the flat
- Your bike
- Its weight, chainrings, cassette and tyres
- Your route
- Any GPX or TCX file, from Komoot or any app that exports one
- The weather
- Wind, rain and heat for when you reach each part
When you find a route
Every climb, worked out for your legs.
Drop in the file. Saddlebag finds each climb and works out the watts, the gear, the time, and whether you'll make it. The route's verdict is its hardest climb, so you know before you commit.
- Easy
- Up to your FTP
- Steady
- Up to 110% of it
- Hard
- Past 110%, but you'll make it
- Too hard
- You'd stall. Fit easier gears.
The days before
Carbs an hour, pinned to the route.
Saddlebag works out what the ride needs and what your bottles hold, then names the food you actually have. For this one: 90 g an hour, 8 citrus gels, a rice cake, 2 bottles and 3 refills. Eat before the climbs, not on them.
The planner keeps four weeks in view, with the hardest ride marked, so the big day doesn't sneak up on you.
The night before
Pack by where it rides.
Cages, saddlebag, pockets. Tick things off as they go in and Saddlebag tells you whether what you're carrying covers the ride. Each cage keeps its own bottle size.
Share the plan's numbers
Cards with the route, the climbs, your FTP and watts per kilo. Drawn on your phone, sent only where you send them.
Rolling out
One look: ready or not.
The route, the weather at your start time, what to eat, the pack and the bike, on one screen. "2 of 5 ready" tells you which three to sort before you clip in.
After the ride
Know what's worn before it costs you a ride.
Log your bikes and parts, including the ones that were on long before you started counting. Saddlebag keeps the kilometres on each part, flags what's due and keeps track of what you've spent.
Yours, on your phone.
- No account. Open it and start. Nothing to sign up for.
- No ads. Nothing is sold, and no one is tracking your rides.
- Stays on the phone. Routes, bikes and numbers are kept on your phone. The weather is the one thing Saddlebag asks the internet for.
Ready before you roll.
Coming soon to iPhone, iPad and Android. Questions or ideas: jechocarlos@gmail.com.
