Crossroads, roundabouts and farm tracks
Side roads now flow into the road you ride, with rounded kerbs and the edge line broken across, and roundabouts look like the ones you know. Farm tracks are two dirt ruts with grass down the middle.
Shift and pause from your bars with BikeControl
Grimpa now works with the BikeControl app, so the controller on your bars can shift, pause, skip an interval or change your workout's watts. In BikeControl, pick Grimpa as your app (update BikeControl if it isn't listed yet), then connect it in Grimpa like your other devices.
Painted clouds, livelier roads
The skies now have hand-painted clouds, and the roads feel lived in: wide footways through the villages, street lamps, bollards, benches, roadside posts and telegraph poles. The haze softens the distance, and the road is sharper and cleaner.
A warmer, richer look
Every route looks better: big puffy clouds, warm afternoon light, and roads, houses, trees and grass with far more detail. Your rider looks better too.

A training plan made for you
Tell Grimpa your goal, your level and the days you can ride, and it builds a plan around you, every session set to your own watts. Every ride counts, indoors or outside with Garmin or Wahoo, and when you miss a day or feel tired, the rest of the week adapts.

Bring your friends to your map pack
A group ride you set on a map pack's route is open to everyone who joins it, pack or not. Your friends ride the Pyrenees with you for free; on their own, the route stays the pack's. Try it
Your place on the leaderboard as you ride
On every segment you now see the place you're on pace for on the leaderboard of the last 90 days, and how far you are from the place above. Before the start the fastest time waits under your ghost's, and at the line the stone says by how much you beat it or missed.
Two volumes for the ride's sound
The ride's settings now have one slider for the road and the crowd and another for the beeps, so a workout's countdown comes through over your music while the wind of a descent stays in the background. The beeps are louder than before and the road a little quieter. - Grimpa: Three new routes: Berlin, the Rhine and London
Three new routes: Berlin, the Rhine and London
Ride Berlin from the Grunewald's lakes to a race-day finale past the Olympiastadion and the Funkturm, a loop of the Rhine gorge from Bacharach, across the river and back on two ferries and under the Loreley, and laps of Richmond Park among the deer. All three are free, short and mostly flat, and each has something new to earn: tri-spoke wheels, a compact aero helmet and a jersey the colours of a sunrise.
