Unridden is just getting started! We have two general phases we're working on:

Phase 1

This initial phase will open the app for use by all, allowing folks to connect via Strava (other systems offered in the future) and track the trails they've ridden in the areas we have available. Then we'd like to hear your feedback and ideas! Feel free to send feedback any time.

We aim to add areas as fast as we can, expanding all across North America to start, and then to Europe. However, we need your help! We want to curate each area, to ensure we're showing only legal sanctioned trails (and also not reveal local secrets). Thus, Unridden needs local "ambassadors" who curate and represent trails for an area. See our Ambassadors page to learn more.

We kindly request you hold on to your area requests for the moment. We have a long list of areas we're working on already, which we're focused on getting going as quickly as possible. You'll start to see them appear with a "coming soon" designation on the Explore Areas page. After that we'll start taking requests.

Phase 2

Once we have riders using Unridden, and a growing set of areas, we'll move on to getting prizes for completions, challenges, and other fun activities within the system. As described on our About page, we aim to be very inclusive, and not have this be just about who's the fastest (we'll leave that to Strava).

We'll be looking for both bike industry companies, as well as local merchants and more to provide prizes (physical goods, coupons, etc.). We aim to have a mutually beneficial system that provides a lot of great rewards to riders, as well as helps cover the cost of running Unridden. If you/your company are interested, please get in touch.

We'll soon have a more explicit way to notify us of missing trails. For the moment we're primarily focused on just adding areas as fast as we can.

For the curious — when we do add a new trail to an existing area, we will automatically reprocess any of your rides that may have included that trail, so you'll get credit even if we added it after you rode it.

Currently, Unridden connects to your Strava and receives any non-private rides you do. The app then matches your route to any trails we have in the system, and credits you that trail (and keeps track of how many times you've ridden it as well). When you first connect to Strava, Unridden will go fetch all the previous rides you've done this year (Unridden won't process prior years), so that you'll be credited for everything in the current year, and then moving forward.

We plan to support more than Strava in the future, such as Garmin and other devices. Feel free to let us know others you'd like us to support.

In general, Unridden supports any kind of "bicycle" ride received from Strava. And further, Unridden does not differentiate or behave differently between regular and e-bike, because this is simply about what trails have you ridden, regardless of what kind of bike you did it on. Therefore, this includes e-bikes, adaptive bikes, gravel, mtb, etc. Unridden is focused on mountain bike trails (for now), so we do ignore a ride classified specifically as a road ride.
