The mission
Watch each sport come online.
Every sport climbs the same three steps: structured workouts on your own machine, then training anywhere on Earth in the 3D world, then training with anyone, live. A sport lights up here the day it reaches the next one.

Why Ride Cave
Built to be the best place to train.
Fitness should be free to start, and fair after that. Everything you need to plan, train, and analyze is here, and the core of it is free.
Free at the core
Hundreds of workouts, the builders, the 3D world, velodromes, rowing, running, strength training, training plans and integrations. No trial clock and no forever-bill.
Every machine you own
Any FTMS smart trainer, with 20 brands recognized by name, a Concept2 PM5 on a RowErg or SkiErg, smart treadmills and footpods, power meters, heart rate straps and shifters.
The real Earth
Ride any route on the planet, or draw a new one anywhere, through a 3D world built from real terrain, with weather and day rolling into night.
Never train alone
Group Rides on any eRoute, Group Workouts with live voice chat, live Group Races on the track, and Clubs to ride with.
Coaching your way
Work with a real coach for free, or ask Atlas, your AI coach. We never shove AI in your face: every AI feature switches off with one toggle.
One training picture
Rides, rows, runs and strength sessions count toward the same fitness and load, and sync with Strava, Wahoo and Intervals.icu, with imports from Garmin too.
Every device
Train your way, on any screen.
Infinite workouts, real global routes, and virtual velodromes, plus custom data views, integrated coaching, and training plans.
Get the app on iPhone and iPad or Android, use Chrome, Edge, Brave or another Chromium browser, or download the desktop app for Mac, Windows, or Linux with ANT+ support.
Highlights
Training you look forward to.
New
Ride Cave runs.
Connect a smart treadmill or a footpod and run structured workouts by pace or treadmill speed. Ride Cave tells you the speed to set, sets the incline for you on treadmills that allow it, and counts every run next to your rides and rows.
Rowing
Ride Cave rows.
Connect a Concept2 PM5 or Bluetooth rower and train by split, watts, and stroke rate, with rowing workouts, rowing zones, a 2k test, and every row in the same training picture as your rides. Every workout plays on a Concept2 SkiErg too.
Infinite World
A living 3D world on every route.
Day rolls into night, weather moves through, and the riders on your route are really there, live. Free for everyone.
Real routes
Ride the roads you love, from home.
Upload any GPX, TCX, or FIT file, or draw a new route anywhere on Earth. Live grade, elevation, maps, and Street View come along for the ride.
