Import Strava Routes to MoguWind Plan

Strava stores your routes. MoguWind shows you the wind that will hit each one. Import any saved route in seconds and see wind impact tramo by tramo.

You've built the perfect route on Strava. You know the climbs, the descents, the quiet roads. But you don't know the wind you'll face on each segment—until you import it to MoguWind. Importing Strava routes to MoguWind Plan takes seconds and gives you wind data point by point along your entire ride.

Why Import Strava Routes to MoguWind?

Strava is built for logging and sharing rides. MoguWind is built for planning them with precision. When you import a Strava route, you gain access to hourly wind forecasts at each kilometer, helping you decide when to ride, which direction to go, and where headwind will slow you down most.

The key difference: Strava shows you the route. MoguWind shows you the wind that will hit you on that route. Combined, they're a complete planning toolkit. Strava tells you the shape and gradient; MoguWind tells you what the atmosphere will do.

How to Import a Strava Route Step by Step

  1. Go to your Strava route. Open Strava on web or mobile and find the route you want to analyze.
  2. Export as GPX. Click the three-dot menu and select "Export as GPX" (or similar, depending on your Strava version). Save the file to your device.
  3. Open MoguWind Plan. Go to the web planner and click "Create a new route" or "Import route."
  4. Upload the GPX file. Select your downloaded Strava GPX file and upload it to MoguWind.
  5. Set your start time. Choose the date and approximate time you plan to ride. MoguWind calculates wind for that exact moment.
  6. Review wind impact. Scroll through your route on the map. Wind speed and direction display for each kilometer, color-coded by intensity.

The entire process takes under a minute. You now have wind data that Strava will never show you.

What You'll See After Import

Once your Strava route is in MoguWind, you get a color-coded map overlay:

You can also see the wind vector (direction and speed) for every single kilometer. This isn't a blanket forecast for your whole ride—it's segment-by-segment wind intelligence. Change your start time in the planner, and the wind updates instantly, showing you the best window to ride.

Why This Matters for Your Training and Racing

A headwind of 15 km/h on a flat road can cost you 30 minutes on a 100 km ride. A tailwind can cut that same ride by 20 minutes. Yet most cyclists check a general weather app and ride anyway. MoguWind removes that guessing game.

When you know wind impact tramo by tramo, you can:

For group rides or racing, this data is crucial. You'll arrive at climbs knowing how much the wind has already drained you—or whether you're fresher than you expected because tailwind helped.

Beyond Strava: Other Ways to Get Routes into MoguWind

You don't have to use Strava. You can also import routes from:

However you plan your route, MoguWind brings wind intelligence to it.

Real Example: Importing a Century Route

Imagine you have a 100 km route saved on Strava. You export it, upload to MoguWind, and set your start time for Saturday morning at 7 a.m. The planner shows you that kilometers 0–25 have a 12 km/h headwind (northwest). Kilometers 25–60 turn into a 10 km/h tailwind. Kilometers 60–100 swing back to an 8 km/h headwind.

Knowing this, you pace the first 25 km conservatively—you're fighting wind and still waking up. You push harder between 25–60 when the wind helps. You settle into tempo pace for the final push knowing you'll feel the wind but it's lighter than the start.

Without this data, you might hammer the first 25 km, blow up in the middle, and crawl to the finish. With it, you ride smart.
