The cycling club app that replaces your website, email list, and group chats
A-group, B-group, C-group — run them all from one club, with your bike shop or trailhead as home base. No more separate Facebook groups and WhatsApp threads for every ride level.
Create your Road Cycling group — freeBuilt for road cycling organizers
Everything you need to run a great road cycling group.
Multi-pace groups, one club
Create A/B/C/D ride groups under a single club. Each group has its own rides, leaders, and signups. You get one dashboard instead of four separate tools.
Ride details that prevent surprises
Pace band, route link, and meeting point on every ride. Riders know what they're signing up for before they show up — no more dropped riders who didn't know what they were in for.
Waitlist for rides that fill fast
Cap your group size for road safety. Popular rides fill up — the waitlist handles itself automatically when spots open. No manual back-and-forth.
Pace bands riders already understand
Set a pace band on every ride, from social no-drop to racing. Name your sub-groups A/B/C/D if that's what your club calls them — the pace on each ride is what keeps riders honest. No more dropped riders 5 miles in.
Social · 12–14 mph
Easy, no-drop rides. Everyone finishes together. Supportive pace, regular stops, perfect for first group rides.
Moderate · 15–18 mph
Steady group pace. Riders are expected to hold a wheel. The biggest group at most clubs.
Fast · 18–22 mph
Hammerfest-friendly. Strong fitness required, minimal waiting. Not the place to find your limits.
Racing · 22+ mph
Cat 1–3 or equivalent. Race-pace training and competitive group rides.
Your club's home base, online and on the road
A club is more than a ride calendar. It's the shop everyone rolls out from, the Saturday regulars, and the new rider who needs to know which group won't drop them. Start Time puts all of that in one place your whole club will actually use.
Ride levels as sub-groups
Create A, B, C, and D groups under one club. Each has its own ride leaders, its own rides, and its own signups — and the club calendar shows all of them together.
The bike shop as home base
Set your shop or trailhead as the club's home venue. Rides start from there, riders who follow the shop find your club, and new members always know where to show up.
A route on every ride
Attach the Strava or RideWithGPS route to each ride. Riders check the course and the pace band before they commit, so nobody's surprised at the first climb.
Capped rides that fill themselves
Cap the group for road safety and open a waitlist. When someone drops, the next rider is notified and the spot fills without a single message from you.
Start Time runs your club's rides and members. It doesn't track your ride or replace Strava — link your routes wherever they live and keep your kudos where they are.

Frequently asked questions
What app do cycling clubs use to manage ride groups?
Start Time manages A/B/C/D ride groups under one club login — replacing your website, email list, WhatsApp threads, and spreadsheet with one tool your whole club will actually use.
How do I manage A, B, and C ride groups separately?
Create separate ride groups (A/B/C/D) under one club. Each group has its own rides, leaders, and signups. You manage everything from one dashboard.
How do I prevent dropped riders showing up to the wrong group?
Set the pace band, add the route link, and pick the meeting point on every ride. Riders know exactly what they're signing up for before they show up.
Can I cap group size for safety on group rides?
Yes. Set a maximum group size per ride and let the waitlist handle overflow automatically. When a spot opens, the next person is notified instantly.
Is Start Time free for cycling clubs?
Yes — Start Time is free for cycling clubs to get started. Set up your A/B/C ride groups and invite the whole club at no cost.
Can our bike shop be the club's home base?
Yes. Add the shop as a venue, set it as your club's home, and start rides from it. Riders who follow the shop see your club and its upcoming rides.
Can riders share routes?
Yes. Every ride can carry a route link — Strava, RideWithGPS, Komoot, or any URL — so riders can preview the course before they sign up.
Do we need to leave Strava?
No. Keep tracking rides and kudos on Strava. Start Time handles who's riding, when, at what pace, and from where.
Can we run road and mountain bike rides under one club?
Yes. One club with a sub-group for each ride, like Road A, Road B, and MTB. Each sub-group has its own rides, leaders, and signups.
