We Are Building the Home for Mixed Terrain Riders
Mixed terrain means linking pavement, gravel, and trail in a single ride. It is a mindset as much as a route type, and this site is for riders who like stitching lines together and seeing where they lead.
Today, Mixed Terrain Biking lets you upload GPX files and share real rides with the community. That is the start. Our vision is a social layer made for riders: profiles, comments, follows, and conversation built around routes, surfaces, and the stories from the field.
We are shipping the foundation first: reliable uploads, clear surface breakdowns, and helpful context like difficulty, tire size, and elevation. As this grows, you will see tools for discovery, curation, and rider to rider collaboration.
If this sounds like your kind of riding, stick around. The good stuff is coming.
FAQ
Mixed Terrain Biking is for people who get it. Not everyone rides mixed surfaces, and not everyone will connect with what we’re building but for those who do, this is your space. If you get it, sign up and let’s get going!
When you upload a GPX file, our back-end algorithm (nicknamed Chuck) analyzes the route or ride to calculate distance, elevation gain, surface breakdown, and more. It also classifies the terrain to help keep data accurate and consistent across the platform.
Upload whatever you have... rides or planned routes. It doesn’t matter if your GPX came from a device or was exported from Strava, RWGPS, or somewhere else. On Mixed Terrain Biking we process them the same way, analyze the data, and do our best to extract accurate distance, elevation, and surface info.
We’re early. Our processing is improving, but it will take time to match the polish of the biggest platforms with huge teams and decades of head start. We’re a small crew building something we think is cool, and we’re learning fast.
If your stats or surfaces look off, tell us and we’ll take a look. Real feedback helps us tune the algorithm and prioritize fixes.
We’re not here to replace the big platforms, we use and love them too. Mixed Terrain Biking is focused on a different angle: a social space built around mixed-surface riding. Think following other riders, conversations, and discovering rides rather than designing routes or tracking performance.
No. Your ride data is yours, and we will never sell it. We may use it to train models that help improve our service, but that's it. All data is anonymized before it’s shared on the site. Any performance data in your GPX file is removed and not stored.
Absolutely. Clubs are a big part of why we’re building this. If your club would like to start using Mixed Terrain Biking to share rides with members, get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
