About Long Ride Time Estimator
The Long Ride Time Estimator is a specialized endurance utility designed to provide a realistic time estimate for long-distance trips, accounting for fatigue and essential rest breaks. Simple calculators often underestimate the time required for 'ultra' journeys. Our tool uses a 'decay factor' to adjust your speed as distance increases and adds your planned break times for a high-quality projection. Built with a strict privacy-first focus, all your endurance data is processed locally in your browser, ensuring your performance history and goals remain secure.
