As the world adapts to new technologies, we’re doing the same and are excited to be now offering a fully digital, and paperless experience to those who want it (we will still have paper maps and cues available for those who prefer paper). We have developed our very own Freewheeling Mobile App, which works in conjunction with the popular routing software RideWithGPS. You will need both of these apps installed on your mobile device, which will give you full access to your tour routes, maps, our turn-by-turn custom cues, and an overview of all your tour activities/options. You can also use the Freewheeling app to chat with your fellow tour participants, your support person(s), and HQ – or browse our catalog of tours and even book your next adventure!

Simple Setup: (No need to create any account, simply use your email to register and access)

  1. Download both the “Freewheeling Adventures” app, and the “RideWithGPS” app.
  2. You will receive a magic link via email from us, usually around 14 days before the start date of your tour.
  3. Access your tour via “My Trips” at the bottom of our app.

Note: Use of mobile apps for long periods will drain your battery. Please be prepared with a battery pack, or a plan accordingly. We can also provide tips and tricks to adjust your settings to help conserve your battery life.

Advanced Setup: (Requires creating a RWGPS account/password – for users who want to record their rides in RWGPS, or download GPX files to their Garmin devices, and other premium features)

  1. Download both the “Freewheeling Adventures” app, and the “RideWithGPS” app.
  2. You will receive a magic link via email from us, usually around 14 days before the start date of your tour, you will also need a second link from RWGPS, which we can provide upon request.
  3. Access your tour via “My Trips” at the bottom of the Freewheeling App, or through “My Events” in the RWGPS app.
  4. For further instruction, please see help links below, or contact us and we can walk you through whatever setup you’re trying to achieve.

Navigation Help Resources: When you register for a Freewheeling adventure, you receive full premium access to the RWGPS app for the duration of your experience. This allows you full access to features you would normally need to pay for, like access to download routes/maps offline, turn-by-turn custom cues, etc.
