Got a long list of rides and feeling a bit lost? Don’t worry — our filter and sorting features make it easy to organize your rides just the way you like.
Here’s how it works:
- Open the "Rides" tab.
- Select the category of rides you want to filter.
- By default, your rides are sorted by month, with the newest at the top.
- Tap or click on the button with the two arrows (↑ ↓) above your rides.
- Now you can sort your rides by name, date, distance, and duration.
- Don't forget to hit "Apply" to save your settings, and your ride list will refresh.
Tip: By tapping the sorting options (e.g. from A to Z), you have the option to reverse the order. 💡
Tip:
Right now, we don’t offer advanced sorting, filtering, search, or tagging features. But a little smart naming goes a long way! Here are some rider-approved tricks:
- Start with the date: Use the YYYY-MM-DD format at the beginning of your ride name (e.g. 2025-06-15 Black Forest ride). This keeps rides neatly ordered by date.
- Add a country code: If you ride internationally, tag your rides with country codes like DE, FR, IT (DE Alpine Route, FR Coastal Road).
- Use brackets for quick tags: Categorize rides with tags like [Vacation], [WE] (Weekend), [Off-road] or [Favorite] ([Vacation] Dolomites 2024).
- Numbering: Keep sequential rides in order by adding numbers (01 Alpine Pass, 02 Coastal Road).
With these simple tricks, you’ll have a well-organized ride list and get the most out of alphabetical sorting!
Comments
This sorting type does not get "stored" or remembered. Have to change it almost every time which is rubbish
Hey @Martin McDowell - Sorry for the (very) delayed response. We're taking advantage of the cooler weather to get the Help Center back into shape and will be answering regularly from now on.
The issue about the setting not being stored is known. A fix is on its way and should be released next week.
Sorry about the inconvenience! Please reach out again, gladly here support@calimoto.com, if you have any other questions or feedback.
Note on using numbers: you cannot get to 10 and keep them in order - it will interpret that as one zero, slotting after one (followed by 11, 12 and so on before 2, 3, etc.).
As a work-around, I am using this sequence: 7,8,9,91,92,93...
Please let me know if there is a better workaround.
Hello @Joe Warner – Really great feedback, thanks for pointing that out. You're absolutely right. When sorting rides by name, the system reads numbers like 10, 11, 12 as starting with a 1, which throws off the order unless leading zeroes are used.
Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:
Without a leading zero, the system compares numbers character by character. So it sees 10 as starting with a “1”, which comes before “2”, “3”, and so on. That throws off the natural order you’d expect.
Using a leading zero, like 01, 02, 03, keeps the number length consistent, so the order stays clean up to 99. If you plan to go beyond that, you could start with 001, 002, and so on to keep everything nicely sorted.
Your current workaround is smart, but feel free to try the leading zero method too. And we’ll pass this along to the team as well so they can look into improving how sorting works in the future.
Thanks again, and safe riding!
Hi
A feature request, could we have folders for rides? So like Google maps where I can drop all the bookmarks for a trip into a folder, (or group)? Then I could create a folder for a set of rides, (i.e. a touring holiday).
Related to this, how do you move a planned ride into bookmarked ride, (on the website)? I can't see any way. It looks like we have to replan the whole ride under the bookmarked tab.
Thanks
Hi @Lonsontour - thanks a lot for your message, and that’s a really great suggestion!
The idea of organizing rides into folders or groups is something we’ve been hearing more and more often, so it’s definitely gaining importance. I’ve added a +1 for you to our internal feedback list. The more users ask for this, the higher it moves up in priority.
Regarding your second question: bookmarks in calimoto are a bit different from what you might expect. They are only intended for rides from the community. So when you browse the tour suggestions under the “Rides” tab on the website, you can bookmark those and they’ll appear in your own rides.
It’s currently not possible to move one of your own planned rides into the bookmarked section. It works the other way around: you can take a bookmarked (community) ride and save it as one of your own planned rides.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!
Yes, I'm another one requesting folders for rides.
I have over 200 rides globally and making folders would be great! This is especially relevant with trips over 2000 miles, where you need several (maybe daily) routes. Date and alphabetical order are just a pain to use.
Apart from that, I've been using Calimoto for several years and 100% recommend it to everyone. Keep up the great work!
Hey @Daraius - thanks a lot for your message and the kind words, really appreciate it 😊!
And yes, I feel you on this one. Managing a large number of rides without folders can definitely get messy, especially on longer trips with multiple daily routes.
I’ve added your request to our feedback list as well, so that’s another +1 in your name. The topic is currently getting attention from a few different directions, so it’s definitely on the radar. Fingers crossed that it gets picked up for a closer look.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and ride safe!
