Group and squad rides
Join a group ride you were invited to
Applies to: Android and iPhone
- 1
Open the invite. Tap the push notification, open the tap-to-join link, or scan the QR code the leader shared with you.
- 2
Confirm Join this squad? RideClan opens to a Join this squad? prompt. Review the ride, then tap Join to accept.
- 3
Land on the live map. You drop onto the shared live map with the rest of the crew, navigated to the destination.
Join with an invite code
No link or QR handy? You can join with the short code instead. In the app tap Ride, then Ride with Squad, then Join with a code, and enter the code the leader gave you.
Do not have RideClan yet?
If you tap the link or scan the QR code without the app installed, you are taken to install RideClan first. On the first open the app offers to join the squad for you, so you land in the right ride without re-entering anything.
If it does not work
Ride is not available to join. The leader has already ended the ride, so the invite is no longer live. Ask them to start the ride again and re-send the invite.
If you join after the group has set off, that is fine. Late joins are navigated straight to the destination so you can catch up. If the invite will not open at all, check your connection and make sure you are on the latest version of RideClan.
FAQ
I got the invite late. Can I still join?
Yes. As long as the leader has not ended the ride, you can join at any time. You will be navigated to the destination and appear on the live map with everyone else.
Do I need the app open to receive the invite?
No. Push invites arrive even when RideClan is closed, as long as notifications are allowed. Tapping the notification opens the ride.
