Comparison
The grouprides.cc alternative with a landing page, website widget and club messenger.
Your own landing page, public rides, guests who simply ride along and your next rides on your own website: clubrides.eu does all of that too. On top comes what a club needs between rides: a messenger with push, real pace groups and a route library with Garmin and Wahoo sync.
- Chat instead of email blasts A chat for every ride, club channels and direct messages.
- Push to your phone In the iOS and Android apps and in the browser, instead of emails in the inbox.
- Real pace groups Each group with its own guide, its own list and its own chat.

The biggest difference
A messenger that replaces the WhatsApp group.
Lots of tools can list rides. What holds a club together happens in between: plans, photos, questions, congratulations. clubrides.eu comes with a complete messenger that's linked to the rides. Nobody has to give out their phone number.
- A chat for every ride Everyone who signs up lands in the ride's chat automatically.
- Club and topic channels From the club channel to the gravel channel, private if you like (Pro).
- Direct messages Chat one to one without swapping numbers.
- Polls Including route polls with routes from the club collection.
- Photos and reactions Share pictures and react with any emoji.
- Mute per chat Push only for what really matters.
Event platform or club app?
grouprides.cc is strong at showing public rides and events to lots of people. What a club needs day to day, though, is what happens between the dates: plans, questions, photos and who leads which group.
clubrides.eu is built for clubs and regular group rides where the same people ride together every week. Public rides are still there: they appear on your club page, guests sign up and simply come along.
A route library instead of one link per ride
The club keeps its routes in one place, with map, elevation profile and members' ratings. With a Garmin or Wahoo connection, the route lands on the bike computer automatically after signing up.
Lena rated “Teutoburger Höhen”
Little traffic, and the rollers near Tecklenburg are perfect for the Cappuccino group.

Frequently asked questions
Before you get going.
Does clubrides.eu replace our WhatsApp group?
Yes. Every ride has its own chat, plus club and topic channels and direct messages, all without phone numbers and with push to your phone.
Why do riders need an account on clubrides.eu?
So they get reminders, the ride's chat and the route on their device. A guest account takes a minute to set up, also with Apple or Google.
How much does clubrides.eu cost compared to grouprides.cc?
Free stays free forever, with no member limit. Pro costs €14.99 per month per club, can be cancelled monthly and can be tried free for 30 days.
Can bike shops and brands use clubrides.eu too?
Yes. A shop or brand creates its own space, just like a club: with a logo and public page, and on the Pro plan with its own colours and the rides widget for its own website. Anyone who joins a shop ride lands in the ride's chat and gets reminders by push. The price is the same as for clubs: Free costs nothing, Pro is €14.99 per month.
Can I collect entry fees with clubrides.eu?
No. clubrides.eu doesn't handle payments. For individual events with an entry fee, a ticketing platform remains the right tool, and you organise your club rides in clubrides.eu.
