Group and squad rides

Start a Ride Now group ride

Start a group ride that kicks off right now and pushes an invite to your group so they can tap it and jump onto your live map.

Applies to: Android and iPhone

  1. 1

    Tap Ride Squad. The outlined button on the map home, next to Ride Solo.

  2. 2

    Pick the squad. Choose one of your squads, or create one on the spot. The squad you rode with last time is already selected.

  3. 3

    Answer Where to? Pick Destination for where you are headed, or Record to just set off and log the ride.

  4. 4

    Start now. Confirm the ride to begin immediately. There is nothing to schedule for later.

  5. 5

    Your squad gets pinged. RideClan pushes an invite to the squad. When they tap it, they land on your live map.

If it does not work

If your group does not get the invite, make sure they have notifications allowed and are on the latest version of RideClan. You can always re-share the invite link or QR code directly from the ride so anyone can join.

FAQ

What is the difference between Ride Now and inviting first?

Ride Now starts the ride immediately and sends the invite at the same time, so riders join a ride that is already live. It is the fastest way to get a spontaneous crew moving.
