Use the ride analysis charts

Switch the charts between distance and time, select a stretch of the ride on any chart including Gradient, zoom in and reorder the charts.

What this is for

A ride's analysis page shows a stack of charts, such as power, heart rate, speed, cadence and elevation, all lined up along the same ride. This article covers how to read and work with them on the web.

Distance or Time

The charts are plotted against Distance by default. To plot them against the ride clock instead, choose Time under the charts. Switch back to Distance at any time.

If a ride has no usable distance data, the charts use time.

Select a stretch of the ride

Drag across any chart to select a stretch. The same stretch is shaded on every chart.
The bar above the charts shows how long the stretch is, in distance and time, for example "12.4 km · 1h 33m". A ride with no distance data shows the time only.
Each chart header shows Max, Avg and Min for the selection.
Drag the edges of the shaded area to adjust it.

To drop the selection, choose Clear or press Esc.

The Gradient chart

The Gradient row draws the ride's elevation profile, colored by how steep each part is. The legend shows which colors mean Descent, Flat and climbing. Gaps in the color mean the ride is missing data there.

The Gradient row works like the other charts. Drag on it to select a stretch, and a stretch selected on any other chart is shaded on it too.

If a ride has no elevation or distance data, the row says No elevation or distance data for a gradient profile.

Zoom in

With a stretch selected, choose Zoom in to fill the charts with just that stretch. You can select and zoom again inside it. Choose Reset zoom to go back to the whole ride.

Reorder the charts

Choose the reorder handle at the top right of any chart (its label reads Reorder and the chart name).
Drag the handles to put the charts in the order you want.
Choose Done. Press Esc to cancel instead.
