As much as we all enjoy some “me-time” on the bike, we all know that sometimes life gets in the way. Whether it be nipping off to the loo, answering the door, or needing to urgently sort something for your family, sometimes you just need to have a time-out from your ride and take a break.
The “Take a Break” function allows you to stop pedaling, get off your bike, and go do whatever it is you need to do, then return and resume your ride. During this time your avatar will remain moving at the same speed as the other riders around you so nobody has to wait for you.
Note that you can take as long as you like, but while you’re away all the key stats that track your effort (riding time, distance traveled, TSS/calories, etc) will remain frozen. This function also cannot be used during a ranked race (but is available at all other times – such as when free riding, with pacebots, or in unranked events).
