Statistics

Which day is going to hurt, and whether the pace you have assumed is realistic.

Statistics turns the plan into numbers you can compare. Every active day gets a difficulty score, and the charts show distance, climbing and required pace side by side so an unreasonable stage stands out before you are standing at the bottom of it.

One number per day

Distance alone does not tell you much β€” 90 flat kilometres and 90 kilometres with 1,500 metres of climbing are different days. The difficulty score combines both into a single 0–10 figure, so stages are comparable at a glance.

The formula is deliberately simple and published rather than hidden: distance in kilometres plus climbing in metres divided by 100, all divided by 12, capped at 10. A 90 km day with 900 m of climbing scores 8.3 β€” hard.

  • Under 3 β€” very easy.
  • 3 to 5 β€” easy.
  • 5 to 7 β€” moderate.
  • 7 to 8.5 β€” hard.
  • 8.5 to 9.5 β€” very hard.
  • Above 9.5 β€” extreme.

Required pace, not hoped-for pace

Give a day a start time and a target finish and Statistics can answer the question that actually matters: how fast do you have to move to make that window?

It reports two figures. Moving pace excludes your daily overhead β€” the cafe stops, the punctures, the photographs. Overall pace includes it, which makes it the number to check your watch against mid-ride. If overall pace looks fine but moving pace looks brutal, your overhead assumption is the problem, not your legs.

  • Both figures per day, colour-banded by how demanding they are.
  • Based on your own assumptions, editable in trip settings.
  • Hidden until you set the times, rather than showing a made-up number.

Elevation you can actually read

Profiles are drawn from the real GPX track, smoothed to remove barometric noise, and shown either per day or as one continuous profile across the whole trip with cumulative distance along the bottom.

The whole-trip view is the one people find most useful when deciding whether a plan is sane β€” it makes an unbroken week of climbing obvious in a way a table of totals never does.

  • Per day or whole trip, switchable.
  • Real track data, not an approximation from totals.
  • Min and max altitude alongside total climbing.

Good to know

  • The difficulty score does not know about wind, heat, road surface or how loaded your bike is. It compares your days to each other, not to somebody else's trip.
  • Pace assumptions are yours to set. The defaults are reference values, not measurements of you.
  • Required-pace charts stay hidden until a day has both a start and a target finish time.
