Christopher Lanaway<\/p>\n<p>Rouvy is scattering its segments over its existing roads, as well as a suite of new roads. Its Winter Training Camp Spotlight arrives on 8 December and continues into 2026, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/features\/routes-and-rides\/cycling-in-spain\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pro-team inspired routes<\/a> in destinations including Girona, Calpe and (we guess not in the winter) Andorra.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been there, done that and don\u2019t fancy repeating it on the turbo, there are also new routes arriving between the tail end of October and mid-January 2026. They\u2019re in further-flung destinations including Sri Lanka, Bolivia and even Tajikistan, even if, unlike the real thing, the latter two don\u2019t add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/advice\/fitness-and-training\/10-tips-for-cycling-in-mountains\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">altitude acclimatisation<\/a> to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a five-week climbing spotlight, running from 10 November to 23 December. It features five passes in the Dolomites: Passo Pordoi, Passo Sella, Passo Giau, Passo Fedaia and Passo Gardena.

It\u2019s also handy to add more precision for structured workouts, Rouvy says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are also refinements to route searches, including selection by gradient, and to Rouvy\u2019s virtual garage, enabling you to choose your avatar\u2019s appearance and equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indoor cycling app Rouvy has announced a raft of updates as cyclists in the northern hemisphere batten down&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-169494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cycling","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
