Cycling route → poster
Your cycling route on the wall.
From an Alpine climb to your weekly loop: put your best ride on the wall, in your own colors, map style and with the elevation profile.
One ride. Endless looks.
Different rides, each in its own palette, map style and elevation gradient.
From loop to climb
Every cyclist has a handful of rides that stand out
Anyone riding regularly covers thousands of kilometres a year. Most of that is training: the same loop, the same wind, the same bridge. But there are always a few that are different — the first time over a mountain pass, a spring classic, a day when everything came together.
On paper a cycling route often works better than you'd expect. A loop around a city, a ride along the coast or a climb out of the valley has a shape that is instantly recognisable. And the elevation profile below it shows what happened in those kilometres: where it got steep and how long that lasted.
All you need is the GPX file of the ride. Route Frame reads distance, elevation and duration automatically and places the route on the map style and colour palette you choose. The result is a print-ready PDF that you print yourself — on A4 or a metre wide.

Which ride do you hang up?
Four kinds of rides that come out best on a wall.

The classic
Amstel Gold, the Ronde or a cyclo — a course enthusiasts recognise at once.
-
The holiday climb
An Alpine or Pyrenean climb, where the elevation profile tells the story.
-
The regular loop
The ride from home you did hundreds of times, which is exactly why it matters.

The multi-day tour
Stages merged into one line, with the total distance and elevation gain.

Frequently asked questions
-
How do I make a poster of my cycling route?
Upload the GPX file of your ride to Route Frame, pick a style and download the print-ready PDF.
-
Does it work with Strava and Garmin?
Yes. Export your ride as a GPX from Strava or Garmin Connect and upload it here.
-
Do I get a printed poster or a file?
You get the print-ready PDF source file itself, which you print and frame yourself as often as you like.
-
Can I put several rides on one poster?
Yes. Multiple GPX files can be merged into one continuous route, for example a five-day tour or a series of stages.
-
Does it work for a flat ride without much climbing?
Yes. On a flat course the elevation profile is calmer; you can also switch it off and let the route line and the statistics carry the poster.
-
Which map styles can I choose?
From an almost empty background to a map with roads and place names. On long rides a calm map gives more emphasis to the route itself.
