Description

Great Cycle Challenge's mobile application uses GPS to record the distance of your bike rides while taking part in the fundraising event to fight kids' cancer. Each ride immediately syncs with your individual and team fundraising profile pages and automatically updates the distance ridden towards your event goal as you chase it down!

The app also allows participants to update their ride and fundraising goals, post blog updates, view past rides, thank sponsors, enter in offline cash donations, view leaderboards and more.

How far can you ride? Find out!

* Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

I am very sad this app is awful. I can never log in, it doesn't keep the information I have submitted. I am constantly having to change, request a new pass code. For something so important it's really disappointing.

Richard Guadalupe Lebron

I'm not able to log on. I've changed the password several times and nothing. I need this app to work for my rides

Mabel Albino

I could not add a picture and could sync with Map my fitness. Fix this app and make it useful rather than useless.

Melissa Duncan

So this app is supposed to be for the challenge yet my dashboard says I haven't tracked a single ride?! It's been a year and still no sync option? I've been riding since the first of June. Where are my stats? Oh, in mapmyride app you tell us to download!

Brook Davison

It only shows my personal page, not my team page. I'd like to see both. The graphics are also a bit jumbled.

Ruth Sylaidis

It doesn't work. I keep signing in, and it keeps going back to the sign in screen, even though it accepted my login.

Can't sync my rides with strava. Worked for a week then stopped

Jason B June 9, 2017

I ride a lot especially around my town. I start off fine then go to look at my distance and it ask me to log in. I've lost countless miles in my challenge. You must FIX THIS NOW.

JW Kern May 4, 2017

Riding for Kids' Cancers in June...

Won't connect to My fitness app even though the log in is the exact same....says it's not correct

Simmons Kwan April 23, 2017

Cannot connect to mapmyfitness. Cannot add profile picture. Please fix.

Thomas jenkins May 24, 2017

Cannot log in via Facebook. App not working.

Birgitte Jensen October 8, 2016

Does everything I want I'm undertaking the GCC again this year and i use the app to log my km for the month using the link to Strava. I was having trouble with the App linking to Strava but that seems to have sorted itself out. So back up to 5 stars.

Paul Robins October 1, 2016

Doesn't track rides Wouldn't let me start a ride. Wouldn't recognise gps so i had to install Strava instead.

Mark Byrnes October 15, 2016

No longer connects to GPS. Tried on S7 Edge as well as J1 Mini. Same problem

krobby85 April 9, 2017

Doesn't track rides with GPS, doesn't show miles ridden on my dashboard despite my adding them (manually), and it won't show the photo I uploaded.... All in all, this app is basically useless.

Holly Purdy April 7, 2017

I would be happier except the app keeps logging me out and isn't logging in via Facebook without having to try 4 times.

Liana West April 5, 2017

App doesn't work!

Roderick Pascual June 6, 2016

Total km.ride not updated I had a 297.3 bike ride last June 4 and up to now my total ride is still the same. I know i can manually put it in but still it doesn't feel right since all of my previous rides were sync in strava with this big ride not taken credit. Also when adding a ride manually i put in June 4 as the date of my ride when saving it and wanted to view my ride again it always says June 3 so what's going on?

el_tonin June 6, 2016

The app is not working properly. . The app is not working properly,sometimes the app stop working and every time I missing miles,I ride the same distance with my wife but we always have different miles in the app.....

John Parrish April 19, 2016

Terrible App No offense as to what the goal of this app is, but the app wont log my miles itself, and to get it to recognise what strava logs, nearly takes an act of congress.

Minimal Digital April 23, 2016

Hi John. There is no way to connect to Strava from the GCC mobile app. However, if you prefer to use Strava instead of the GCC mobile app, then you can set this up in the rider dashboard on the Great Cycle Challenge website. You just need to log into Strava from there to connect the account.

Michael Wilder June 2, 2016

It won't let me log in this morning Is anyone else having this issue?

Minimal Digital June 7, 2016

Hi Michael. It's very likely that your problem coincided with issues at the website end towards the start of the event. Hopefully it is working ok for you now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ron Thompson April 10, 2016

wtf are you talkin about NO CANADA??? Im in Hamilton canada and signed up no problems

Minimal Digital May 23, 2016

That's correct Ron - Canada was added on April 7, one day after the Canadian event launched for the first time :)

Hannah Royer April 7, 2016

How do you add a profile picture?

Minimal Digital April 8, 2016

Profile pictures can be added from your dashboard on the full website Hannah :)

Joe Ridgill June 4, 2016

Unfortunately the system did not connect to my Strava account and record my 25 mile ride this morning.

Minimal Digital June 7, 2016

Hi Joe. Your connection to Strava is separate to the GCC mobile app (which can be used instead of Strava or MapMyRide). We did have an issue with Strava but believe it is resolved now. Sorry for the inconvenience!

dave romero June 4, 2016

Won't add miles from this morning ride ! It worked before

Minimal Digital June 7, 2016

Hi Dave. Your issue may have coincided with an update to the website. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Dave Bacon June 2, 2016

Trouble logging in right from the beginning

Minimal Digital June 22, 2016

Hi Dave, it's very likely that your problem coincided with issues at the website end towards the start of the event. Hopefully it is working ok for you now. Sorry for the inconvenience! Please feel free to contact us via the Help Centre if you need assistance resetting your password.

Great Cycle Challenge Records all bike rides and updates site!!

Daniel Kinnane August 22, 2016

Can't login

Graham MacDonald March 27, 2016

No canada Why are they advertising this to Canadians if it isn't for them?

Minimal Digital April 8, 2016

The app couldn't be released until the full website was launched this Thursday Graham - there was nothing to log into until then, which is why there was no Canada option.

Shawn Carron March 23, 2016

Can't add Canada.

Minimal Digital April 8, 2016

The app couldn't be released with Canada as a login option until the full website was launched this Thursday Shawn - there was nothing to log into until then, which is why there was no Canada option.

Angel P June 3, 2015

Very basic. Cannot delete a ride. First ride randomly stopped after only 5 miles, when I went to add the remainder manually, it added 97miles accidentally and now I can't delete it. Also...no profile pic add-ability?

Minimal Digital October 13, 2015

Hi Angel. We have recently added the ability to delete rides, blog updates and cash donations from within the app. Thanks for your feedback!

Justin Powers May 27, 2015

sync miles from other app i cant sync/load my miles from a better mile tracking app. wish map my ride did cancer rides

Minimal Digital April 23, 2016

Hi Justin. You can now connect MapMyRide or Strava accounts directly to your GCC account in the rider dashboard on the Great Cycle Challenge website. This is an alternative to using the GCC mobile app (as there is no need to run both at once).

Tracy Seelhammer June 1, 2015

Disappointed I guess I should have tried out the application first before running it on June 1st - the first day of the cycle challenge. The mileage stopped recording after .43 miles, even though the clock kept climbing. I noticed this first after the initial three miles. I "paused" the ride, double checked that my satellite was still receiving a strong signal, checked to make sure other map apps were ok, and then "restarted" the ride. After the next 4 miles, it still said .43 miles, and the time kept climbing. HTC Desire 510 running Android version 4.4.2, HTC Sense version 6.0. I'll try it again tomorrow, and if it doesn't work, I'll just switch over to mapmyride (my usual app) and manual input miles ridden. Just disappointed is all.

Minimal Digital April 26, 2016

Hi Tracy. It is now possible to directly connect MapMyRide and Strava accounts to your GCC account in the website dashboard.

Matthew Ritner May 27, 2015

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 App works with no problems.

Angie Bubu Zavala Gomez July 4, 2015

Awesome! Had no problems, I totally love it!

Minimal Digital April 8, 2016

Awesome! So glad to hear it Angie :)

Vicki Behrens June 5, 2015

Sometimes won't log ride onto page Have to screenshot manually.

Minimal Digital April 8, 2016

It saves the ride locally and uploads it the next time you save a ride Vicki. This is usually caused by a lack of network connectivity at the time of saving.

Robert Murphy May 6, 2015

Great App So far this app has worked great for me. I have seen previous reviews stating issues but I think they have all been fixed. Now get out there and ride!

Minimal Digital May 7, 2015

That's fantastic Robert! You are correct, we have completely rebuilt the way the ride recording works :)

GCC Team May 4, 2015

Perfect! This is great - it will make tracking my rides much simpler. Seems to work well so far!

Nanette Hamilton May 5, 2015

Can't select USA, therefore, I can't even log in. Deleting...

Minimal Digital May 5, 2015

Nanette, could you provide some more information on what is happening when you try to select the country? We have a Galaxy S5 test device and it's working fine here, so just trying to get to the bottom of the problem you're experiencing.
