About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Tracking with this app is terrible, overall ride was recorded 3 miles less than I actually did, as well as did not accurately follow my route, apparently I was riding in a field, crossed a river, and came back to the road I was actually on. I've never seen this in any other app I've used on this route. Unfortunate waste of time, uninstalling.

I noticed yesterday after my ride that the tracking is not accurate. Rode 25 miles according to my Fitbit but GCC app recorded only 19 miles. I'm thankful that I had the inclination to use more than just this tracker otherwise my mileage would've been horrendously off. Please fix this error. It's incredibly discouraging to be putting in the effort only for the distance tracking to be inaccurate.

For some reason, it's sort-of doubling my rides. For instance, I rode 6.45 miles this evening, but it's showing one ride at 6.45 miles, and one at 6.9 miles. I have another pair from Saturday at 15.73 and a 16.1. My total challenge distance shows 57 miles, but my actual distance should be about 34 miles. I am running the app simultaneously with Map My Fitness, but the apps aren't linked. Thankfully, I think I can delete the wonky rides, but it's weird.
