What does the RideWindow ride score measure?
It is a 0–100 score for one hour at one place, built from temperature, rain, wind, visibility, road grip and daylight. Near-freezing temperatures after rain, visibility under 200 m and gusts over 90 km/h force it to 0 (No-Go), and reduced grip caps it. It is a weather opinion, not a safety guarantee.
Why the weather matters in Manchester
Manchester: the Peak District's moor roads, including the Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle, start on its edge, and Pennine weather is often wetter and windier than the city's.
The score is not a comfort number. It prices the things that actually stop a ride: freezing rain with wet roads, visibility under 0.2 km, and gusts over 90 km/h all veto the hour outright, and the grip estimate caps a greasy-road hour even when the rest reads as a recommendation.
What the live forecast adds
- A 0–100 ride score for every hour over the next seven days, with the points behind it.
- The best 2–8 hour ride windows, ranked by average score.
- The grip estimate — friction against a clean, well-maintained road.
- Warnings: the vetoes that force an hour to No-Go.
- A personalized score when you're signed in with a rider profile.
