You can just ask now. Say "My latest ride in Ride Journal" and Siri tells you about it without the app ever coming to the front, or ask for your ride stats for this week, this month, this year or all time. And Shortcuts gets the whole journal: find rides by distance, place, how they felt, the weather or a word in your notes, find the climbs inside them, and build any of it into an automation of your own. Every outdoor ride now remembers the weather. Ride Journal looks it up the moment you import and keeps it on the entry — temperature, the day's high and low, wind speed and direction, the chance of rain, and an hour-by-hour strip covering the time you were actually out. When the forecast missed it, tag the ride yourself — Fog, Rain, Storm, Windy, Hot, Cold and seven more. Your week and month have grown up, too. Week in Numbers and Month in Numbers now carry a day-by-day chart, your climbing and moving time, your time in daylight, your longest ride and the place you set off from most. Above the figures, Apple Intelligence writes you a couple of lines about them — on your device, in your language, with none of it sent to a server. Also in this release: the weather card on the Home tab can be pulled to refresh, and a fair few small things were tidied up along the way.
Ride Journal now finds the climbs in your rides for you. Every sustained rise gets its own card — mapped, graded from gentle to brutal, and categorised from Cat 4 all the way up to Hors Catégorie, with the length, gain, time and gradients behind it. You can also record what the road was like. Wet, greasy, gravel, roadworks, quiet, busy — tag a ride the way you would describe it to a friend, and the entry finally remembers the bit the numbers always missed. Editing is where it should be, too. One sheet now holds the name, your notes, how the ride felt, the road conditions, your photos and your music, so nothing is set in stone the moment you import. Also in this release: more from your rear radar, including passing speed and how close it got, and Ride Journal now speaks German, French and Japanese. Imports are faster, the journal scrolls smoother, and a fair few small things were tidied up along the way.
Your rides and Apple Health now play even nicer together. This release brings smoother, more reliable sync so your data lands where it should — plus a handful of UI refinements to make every journal entry a little more delightful to open. Same journal you love, now running cleaner than ever.
A great ride is always better when it's shared. Now you can post your rides straight to FITPub and let your friends and followers come along for the journey, right from your journal.
We've given Ride Journal a splash of colour! This release is a fresh UI makeover focused on delight — brighter, bolder, and more fun to open after every ride. Same journal you love, now with extra joy baked in.
