indieVelo has been designed from day one to fully support events and racing. The ability to ride together, whether competitively or non-competitively, isn’t an add-on but an essential part of what makes online cycling so unique. Being part of indieVelo’s DNA means that indieVelo uniquely allows anyone, at any time, to create their own completely flexible and customizable events easily. Your events run your way.

This week’s release (see below for full details) brings even more configuration options for you to choose from, so you can put on whatever events you want, whenever you want. 

Key headlines include:

Finish Locations: indieVelo now allows you to put the finish location for an event wherever you want. Initially, users configure this by selecting a route and a distance. Then, indieVelo will dynamically create a new arch in the appropriate location (or re-use an existing one if nearby). 

It means you can place a finish at any point – at the top of a climb, the bottom, or downhill a third of the way. Whatever, it’s entirely up to you. Further, the new arch will work the same way as any other – so, for example, in a points race, you can assign a configurable number of points to give out to each of the riders.

Custom Event Branding: indieVelo now supports dynamic branding of your event. All you need to do is send me the artwork for your event, and (after common-sense check for appropriateness!) it will be immediately available as an option for you to select in-game for any of your events. Initially, this will be for arches only, but in due course, it will expand to cover roadside barriers, flags, and other in-game branding to help make your event uniquely yours.
