Live Demo: ridecast
A single-city forecast is useless on a long motorcycle ride — California microclimates can swing from fog to triple-digit heat in one route. RideCast splits your route into stretches and forecasts each one for the time you'll actually be riding through it: paste a Google Maps link (or pick start and end points), choose a departure time, and get segment-by-segment conditions on a map and timeline — temperature, wind, rain risk, plus opt-in air quality and pollen layers — with a gear checklist to match. Free, no app, no sign-up.
