For club organisers and ride leaders
Plan rides, take RSVPs, chat with members, verify who turned up and run a live club leaderboard, all inside Atlas. No spreadsheet, no WhatsApp admin, no separate club website.
Free for riders to join. iPhone and Apple Watch.
Everything a club does, in one place.
Illustrative demo club. Sample members and activity.
Most clubs run on a group chat, a spreadsheet and a Strava club. Each one solves a bit of the job and leaves the organiser doing the rest by hand.
The Sunday ride gets announced, then buried under sixty messages about coffee stops. Half the club never sees the start time change.
In Atlas: In Atlas, rides live in their own Events tab, announcements go out as push notifications, and chat stays in Messages where it belongs.
Someone keeps a sheet of who is coming, chases the quiet ones on Saturday night, and still guesses how many groups to run.
In Atlas: Members tap I'm Going on the event card. The organiser sees the numbers on the card before leaving the house, and attendance is verified from GPS afterwards.
A Strava club is a list of activities and a leaderboard. There is nowhere to plan a ride, take an RSVP, run a poll or manage who is in the club.
In Atlas: An Atlas club has a home tab, events, leaders, posts, routes, messages and members. It is a club management app for cycling, not a feed.
A busy club, all in one place. Explore seven views of Atlas with illustrative members, rides and conversations.
Open the club and the whole picture is on one screen: the club name, member count and home city, a stat card with territories held, club rank and kilometres this week, and a Week in review written from the club's real rides.
Post a club ride or a social with a date, start time, meeting point and route. Members RSVP in a tap, pick a pace group, and join the waitlist when a group is full. Recurring rides and drafts are built in.
Every ride a member records in Atlas or syncs from Garmin, Wahoo, Karoo or COROS lands on the club leaderboard automatically. Nobody types anything in, and nobody has to keep a spreadsheet honest.
Your club defends the roads it rides. Claims snap to real roads, hold for 45 days and decay if nobody rides them, so the map on the home tab is a live picture of where the club has been.
Posts are the club noticeboard. Pin the thing everyone needs to read, run a poll when the committee needs a decision, and keep replies on the post instead of scattered through a chat.
Keep the conversation with the club. The Messages tab gives members a place to ask questions, confirm plans and welcome new riders before the next ride.
See who is in the club, who has actually ridden this month, and who runs it. Search, filter and sort the list, and hand out roles so ride leaders and admins can do their jobs without asking the owner.
From the first invite to the leaderboard updating, without an organiser typing anything in.
Name it, set a home territory and invite riders with a link. Members join in the app, free, and land on the club home tab.
Date, start time, meeting point, route and pace groups. Recurring Sunday club run? Set it once.
The ride appears in the club's upcoming events. Members tap I'm Going, pick a pace group, and get reminders. You see numbers before you leave the house.
Atlas matches GPS from the ride to the event. Attendance, distance and territory land on the club leaderboard without anyone typing anything.
A cycling group ride app for the person at the front, and cycling club management software for the person keeping it all running.
Atlas Premium is £4.99 a month or £39.99 a year per rider, with a 30-day free trial. Clubs pay nothing; each rider chooses their own plan.

Third-party columns reflect each product's public feature list as of September 2026 and may change. The British Cycling Club Management Tool handles membership admin and insurance; Atlas does not replace that and is built for rides and community.
Decide who it is for, pick a regular ride slot, and give people one place to find rides and talk. In Atlas that is a two-minute setup: name the club, set a home territory, share the invite link, post the first ride. British Cycling affiliation is worth adding later for insurance and ride-leader support.
Yes. Atlas is free for riders to join a club, see the feed, RSVP to events and organise club rides. Premium adds chat, leaderboards, territory and creating clubs for a per-rider subscription; the club itself never pays.
The one your members will open. Atlas is a native iPhone and Apple Watch app that records rides, so club events, chat, attendance and leaderboards live next to the riding itself rather than in a separate admin tool.
Yes. Every event has RSVP, pace groups, a waitlist when a group is full, comments and reminders. Organisers see confirmed numbers per group before the ride.
Create a club in Atlas. Rides recorded in Atlas or synced from Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead Karoo, COROS or Apple Health count automatically, and the club leaderboard ranks members by distance and ride count, with territory feeding the club rank.
Yes, and you do not need to leave Strava to do it. Riders keep uploading to Strava as before; Atlas pulls the same rides from their head unit or Apple Health. Atlas does not connect to Strava or import Strava history.
Yes. Atlas matches the GPS of each rider's recorded ride to the event's time and route, so attendance is verified automatically without a check-in or QR code.
Start the ride in Atlas and switch on live sharing for the club. Everyone on the ride sees the leader on the map, which keeps split groups together and makes regroup points obvious.
Most clubs keep a simple public page for newcomers and move everything else into Atlas: rides, RSVPs, chat, announcements and results in one place, with push notifications instead of a hundred unread messages.
No. The Club Management Tool covers membership records, affiliation and insurance. Atlas covers the riding: events, RSVP, chat, attendance, leaderboards and territory. Many clubs use both.
Nothing at club level. Each rider chooses: free, or Atlas Premium at £4.99 a month or £39.99 a year with a 30-day free trial. Organisers need Premium to create a club.
Free for riders to join. 30 days of Premium free for organisers who want to create a club today.
