Additional information about ESR Group Ride

  • You can create or join unlimited Group Rides, but you can only be active in one Group Ride at a time (being active in a Group Ride means you can see members on your Go-Ride map)
  • You can show or hide your location to members in your active Group Ride
  • When you are not active in a Group Ride, your location is hidden
  • If you hide your location to members in your active Group Ride, you will still be able to see those members who are showing their location
