ROUVY, the indoor cycling app, has added Strava outdoor cycling activities to its ROUVY Career motivation platform. Other updates include new routes, a ‘Gravel & Off-road’ category and Outdoor Achievements.
‘Any athlete or fitness enthusiast, registered on ROUVY and uploading activities to Strava, automatically enrols. From now on, the outdoor rides will produce earnings in the rider’s account and will help to proceed in their Career levels faster.’
Coins earned can be used for virtual avatar upgrades (once released) or real prize rewards where available, sponsored by ROUVY’s partners.
ROUVY members also have the benefit of keeping all their indoor and outdoor activities in a web training diary in one place, allowing for further analysis and planning.
Along with the integration of outdoor rides via Strava, the team at ROUVY has rolled out ‘Outdoor Achievements’ to provide a more engaged way to track the logged miles. Here, the company notes… ‘The more one rides outside, the more places he or she explores, the more they achieve and enjoy their Career on ROUVY.’
Achievements are based on distance covered, calories burned, metres climbed and vary in difficulty, from easy up to tough challenges, requiring thousands of covered kms.
Athletes need to have a valid subscription and an up-to-date app to be able to upload outdoor activities into ROUVY. The activity can be imported via an automatic sync with the Strava app.
