Why Connect Your Garmin With Trailforks Ridelog?

Trailforks Ridelogs in the app

The Trailforks Activity Log (Ridelog) feature has several purposes, the first being your personal log of the activities you do each year. But that is only the start, we analyze activity data to generate trail usage statistics that trail associations can use to help plan and advocate for trails.

The Ridelog data also is used to calculate average ride/hike times for trails, as a guide to help improve trail accuracy and to assist in navigation. Through the Trailforks App users can access anonymized activities to discover routes the locals take to access a trail.

Garmin devices are popular, so we make it easy to import your Garmin activities into Trailforks for the benefit of the community & personal use.

If you don't use Garmin but instead use a different device or service, you can also connect them here.

FAQ

  • Do the Trailforks activities have privacy settings?

    Yes, even more control than Garmin actually. You can have completely private rides, rides that are public but the map & location is hidden or rides only your followers can view. Trailforks also scans each ride for sensitive or illegal trails and marks your ride as private if we detect any, only you can view it.

    When you setup the Garmin auto importing you can setup some default privacy settings, or change an individual activity controls at any time. read more about privacy settings & sensitive trails

  • I track non mountain biking road rides on my Garmin, can I exclude those?

    Yes, if you have imported bikes to your Trailforks profile from Garmin, you can then exclude Garmin activities that are imported based on gear/bike. read more about this feature
