About Routebook

Routebook is post-ride exploration for virtual cyclists. After you finish a ride on Rouvy, we transform your route into a cinematic journey across real satellite maps showing you the actual places you've cycled through, the terrain you've conquered, and the world you've explored. We don't replace Rouvy's training or Strava's analytics. We complete them. Because the ride you just finished deserves more than metrics, it deserves to be remembered, explored, and relived.

Why I Built This

I'm an engineer who loves cycling and building things. After years of riding on Rouvy — through the Alps, along Spanish coastlines, across Norwegian fjords, over Tajikistan's mountain passes — I realized something was missing.

I'd finish an incredible route and think: "I wish I could see that castle I climbed past on a real map" or "Where exactly was that amazing coastal section?"

Rouvy gave me the workout. Strava gave me the data. But nothing gave me the place. The geography. The exploration.

So I built Routebook. Not as a competitor to those platforms. But as something different. A tool for the part of cycling that's about curiosity, not competition. About memory, not metrics.

It's for cyclists who ride to see the world, even when that world is virtual.

You Put in the Work. Now Explore Where You've Been.

Routebook is for cyclists who ride for more than just the numbers. It's for those who choose routes by scenery, not difficulty.

The Ride Ends. The Magic Disappears.

You just conquered a stunning coastal route in Spain. Climbed through Alpine valleys. Rode along Norwegian fjords. But once you click “finish,” it's gone.

Rouvy shows you the workout. Strava shows you the metrics. But where's the place that shows you the world you just rode through?

That's why Routebook exists.

Post-Ride Exploration, Not Pre-Ride Analysis

You've already done the hard part — the sweat, the effort, the climb. Now it's time to relive the journey and discover the places that made it worth it.

You Ride

On Rouvy. Through real-world routes. You climb, you push, you finish.

You Track

On Strava. Your power, speed, segments. The numbers that show your progress.

You Explore

On Routebook. Where you've been. What you've seen. The adventure you just completed.

We Don't Replace Your Tools. We Complete Them.

Think of Routebook as the third piece of your cycling stack. Different purpose, different value, all working together.

What Makes Routebook Different

Cinematic, Not Clinical

No graphs. No training zones. No FTP calculations. Just beautiful satellite imagery and your route unfolding like a movie. Because sometimes you just want to see the ride, not analyze it.

Discovery, Not Competition

No leaderboards. No KOMs. No comparing your watts to others. Just you, exploring the places you've ridden. Mark the castle you climbed past. Save the viewpoint you want to visit in real life.

A Collection, Not a Log

Your routes become a personal atlas. A visual record of everywhere you've “been.” 12 countries. 32 routes. A growing map of adventures that you'll look back on and remember.

Simple by Design

Three clicks: Export from Rouvy. Upload to Routebook. Watch it come alive. No training plans. No complex settings. No feature overload. Just the parts that make rides memorable.

For the Love of Riding

Built for cyclists who don't just ride to improve their 20-minute power. Who choose routes based on scenery, not segment potential. Who talk about “riding through Tuscany” rather than “hitting 4 w/kg.”

Yours to Keep

Even if you stop subscribing, your routes stay viewable forever. We're not holding your memories hostage. You built that collection — it's yours.

Our Philosophy

Post-Ride, Not Pre-Ride

The work happens on the bike. Routebook is for after — when you want to sit back, explore, and relive what you just accomplished.

Complement, Not Compete

We'll never try to replace Rouvy's realism or Strava's analytics. We fill the gap they don't address: exploration and memory.

Simple, Not Overwhelming

Upload a route. See it on a map. Add your points of interest. That's it. No complex features you'll never use.

Yours, Not Ours

Your routes stay viewable even if you unsubscribe. Your collection belongs to you, always.
