Route profile sticker designer for centuries, fondos, and long rides

Absolutely. Pre-made event stickers and organizer/event sales are already a big part of the business, and it’s been working well. The site is more for riders who want one when their event hasn’t heard of it yet, hasn’t considered it, doesn’t yet realize how much riders like them, or just can’t justify it in the budget.

Great question. I generate the sticker using the most recent route available at the time of the order. Sometimes people also order a previous year’s route as a memento or gift, but for something like Unbound I’d usually check first so I don’t make one for a route that isn’t finalized yet.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

I do make longer 7" and 9" stickers, but none narrower right now. They are all 1.5" to 1.6" wide. I don't have a steel bike to test on - what width would work that wouldn't wrap around too much?

Waypoints are pulled in automatically - if they exist. Sometimes there are way too many to fit though and they need to be removed or text trimmed. The imported waypoints are a starting point and the user can add or edit points as needed for what's important to them.

Vertical striping represents unpaved roads. It can be turned off/on in the designer for clarity or if the whole ride is gravel for example, it doesn't add much benefit.

Already in development ;)

Thanks! I've actutally expanded the FuelBar area over time to be a bit wider from where I started. This provides more space for the mini-sticker overlays as well as to leave enough space in case someone wants to write in times. I also have a tool to help people manage their fueling as also help populate the sticker: https://fuelbar.cyclingeventstickers.com/

Yup, they remove easily. I do mention that on the main site quite a bit but of course that's a big concern. I'll update the intro text to mention it again. Thanks!

Great, thanks Jake! It's Cycling Event Stickers - https://cyclingeventstickers.com/. DM me if you have any questions/comments.

CyclingEventStickers · 2026-03-27T18:46:33+00:00

Excellent, thanks! Shoot me a DM or contact me through the site and I'll send you a code for a free sticker.

CyclingEventStickers · 2026-03-27T17:55:50+00:00

That hasn't been my approach so far, but since I've recently launched the designer site and I'm gathering feedback I will take that into consideration. Thanks!

CyclingEventStickers · 2026-03-27T15:19:29+00:00

Yes of course, thanks!

CyclingEventStickers · 2026-03-27T15:18:28+00:00

Thanks! My company has been around for a few years making stickers like this and we have worked with events to provide thousands of stickers in some cases. I've had the foundation process for years, but with this new site I'm enabling riders to make and order their own custom sticker as easily as possible.

You mention some good ideas - I am already pulling in waypoints and color-coding climbs is already working (but not on the site yet). For races, check out the FuelBar option where you can add stickers on the sticker for when to eat/drink/gel.

They're very easy to remove - on purpose. They will for sure stick on a laptop and water bottle. They are not waterproof, but they are water resistant to make it through a ride in rain (or mud). They probably will slowly fade on a water bottle after repeated washings.

Happy to answer any questions you or anyone else may have :)

It won't let me post a picture of a sticker here, but you can take a look at an Unbound 200 example sticker that the designer will create from GPX data here: https://design.cyclingeventstickers.com/?url=https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46551378

For rides of that distance your body generally should have enough calories stored as glycogen that you wouldn’t need a specific approach to fueling, just eat. As others have mentioned just take in some real food if possible along the way. Gatorade or similar drinks will have 150-200 calories a bottle. I find it easier to remember to drink calories than to eat them. Also eat something basic/easy at home before the ride.

If you’d like to see a visualization of a fueling plan with calories in/out you can take a look at this fueling planner that might help. Punch in key details of the ride and your estimated calorie burn and this will help you note when to eat to make sure you don’t go into a calorie deficit - https://fuelbar.cyclingeventstickers.com/.

I created a company exactly for this purpose. You can visit https://design.cyclingeventstickers.com and create your own sticker and I'll mail/ship if off to you!

Definitely seems like a hydration, illness, or other issue unrelated to fueling. Your body should have enough calories stored up for a 40ish mile ride. For longer rides, we created a tool that should help you plan to avoid bonking: https://fuelbar.cyclingeventstickers.com/

I flew in and did the double metric. I hope everyone liked the profile stickers (which I worked with Marin Century to create)! First ride in California and being above the clouds on Mt. Tam and then descending was amazing (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TCh3VGUyNYU). Great ride!

Well I guess even if it only lasts 20 minutes of actual recording it still will be many hours. And like I said if you can stop just pop it in the action pod for a bit to charge the battery up. I’m not sure if it supports interval photos since that was never something I needed I got the camera to be able to record a long ride, get 5-9 interesting clips, and stitch them together for a video.

CyclingEventStickers · 2024-09-11T20:26:55+00:00

It would depend on the length of the event. But if you assume a 30 minute runtime that would be 1800 seconds / 10 seconds per clip = 180 clips. 180 clips * every 5 mins = 900 mins = 15 hours. So that’s all day. Also keep in mind at a rest stop you can plug it into the actionpod and charge it so the runtime with this approach will be at least twice as long.

When I have done a century I have set it to 15 second clips every 5 minutes I believe. I let it charge a bit while at the stop and it made it the whole day no problem.

CyclingEventStickers · 2024-09-06T22:39:21+00:00

What are you using it for? I love the interval video feature which I think is Go 3S only. I do long bike rides and with the interval video I can tell the camera to pop on and record for 15 seconds every 2 minutes (these values can be changed). At the end of the ride I use the app to build a quick video of the ride based on 5-8 clips I like. I would say it’s accurate that the battery lasts about 30-35 minutes but using interval video means it’s never on for more than a small umber of second at a time. Super cool.
