Riders strung out over miles.
One gallery at the rest stop.
You are the ride director or the club member who volunteered to organize this year's tour. Riders leave in waves, spread out over the first climb, and regroup at the rest stops where the real photos happen: the summit sign, the sag wagon, the cooler of orange slices, the rider fixing a flat with an audience. Nobody stops mid-descent to upload, but everyone stops at the rest stop. A QR code on each rest stop table and on the support vehicle collects every day of the tour into one place, and the families at home follow along the same evening.
The moments guests actually photograph at group rides
Why group rides work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
One code for a multi-day tour
Set each day as a sub-event under the tour's code. Day one's climb, day two's rain and the final rollout into town stay grouped, and the same card taped to the rest stop table works the whole way. Riders who only joined for the weekend see their days; the organizer sees the whole route.
Rest stop uploads, not mid-ride ones
Riders photograph the summit and then put the phone in a jersey pocket for the next hour. Uploads happen at the rest stop, in bulk, while they eat. Video is included, so the clip of the descent from a handlebar camera goes in with the photos, up to unlimited uploads for the event within a fair-use bound of 25 GB.
Families at home follow the same evening
Riders' partners and parents want to know the tour is going well, and the photos are how they find out. Share the gallery link with families before the rollout and each evening's uploads from the overnight stop are waiting for them at breakfast. For the finish, Live Pass lets them watch the riders roll in on a private link with audio.
No app. No account. One scan.
Guests point their camera at a QR code and are uploading in seconds. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates a login, and the grandparents can do it as easily as the teenagers.
Several days, one gallery
Multi-day celebrations get sub-events under one code, so the rehearsal, the ceremony and the brunch stay organised but reachable from a single link.
unlimited photo and video uploads
Every guest can send as much as they like — phone photos, iPhone HEICs, short videos — with a fair-use bound of 25 GB per event. Originals are kept at full resolution.
Broadcast it to the people who couldn't come
Live Pass is a standalone $39 one-time add-on: stream up to 90 minutes to 100 viewers on a private link, with audio. Family abroad watch on any phone, no app required.
Full-resolution downloads
Download any photo, or the whole event as one archive, at original quality. What guests uploaded is what you keep — no compression, no watermark on paid events.
Private by default, never indexed
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. Guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers, and you can close the gallery whenever you choose.
How it works
Set up in a minute. Collect for the whole event.
Create the tour as one event with a sub-event per day, so one code covers the whole route and the photos sort themselves.
Tape the QR code to every rest stop table and the back of the support vehicle, and print it on the cue sheet riders carry.
Riders upload at rest stops and at the overnight stop. The support crew uploads what they saw from the van at the end of each day.
Send families the link before the rollout, and download the whole tour as one archive when the last rider is in.
Try uploading as a guest.
Scan this with your phone the way a guest at your event would. Choose a sample photo and upload it from your browser, then open the demo gallery to see it land.
- Scan the code with your phone camera — it opens straight in the browser.
- Upload a sample photo. Look for the upload confirmation so you know it reached the host.
Use a sample you are comfortable sharing with Picsui. Please keep personal or sensitive photos out of the demo.

Getting the most from group rides
Make the support crew your main photographers. The sag wagon driver and the rest stop volunteers see every rider go past, they are standing still while the riders are moving, and they are at the exact places where the group bunches up and looks like a tour. Give them the link at the crew briefing and ask for one batch upload per day from the overnight stop, where there is power and wifi. Riders will add their summit shots, but the photos that show what the tour was like as a whole come from the van and the tables.
Put the code on the cue sheet or the route card, not only at the rest stops. On a long day riders reach the stop, eat, and roll out in under fifteen minutes, and a laminated card on the table competes with the bananas. The cue sheet is in a jersey pocket for the whole ride, it comes out at every junction, and the rider who wants to upload the summit photo before the descent can scan it from the top. Add the code to the ride's email confirmation as well, so riders already have the page open before the rollout.
Tell families how to follow along and when to expect photos. A partner at home does not know that the tour stops uploading between the last rest stop and the hotel, and silence in the afternoon reads as a crash. A line in the pre-tour email saying the gallery updates each evening from the overnight stop, plus the link, sets the rhythm. If the finish is the moment families most want, Live Pass on a private link lets them watch the riders roll in with audio, and the recorded broadcast can join the gallery afterward.
Common questions about group rides
Can one event cover a multi-day tour?
Yes. Create the tour as one event and add a sub-event for each day, or for each stage if the tour has more than one ride in a day. The QR code stays the same for the whole route, so the card taped to the rest stop table on the first morning is still right on the last afternoon, and uploads are grouped by the day they were taken. Riders who joined for a single stage find their day in a couple of taps, and the organizer downloads the whole tour as one archive at the end.
Riders will not stop to upload. How does this get photos from the road?
It gets them at the rest stop, which is where riders already stop. Photos are taken at the summit and on the descent, then the phone goes back in the jersey pocket until the next table of orange slices, where uploads happen in one go while riders eat. The support crew fills in the rest: the sag wagon and the rest stop volunteers photograph the field going past and upload a batch from the overnight stop. Nothing has to be sent from the road, and anything that fails on a hill without signal goes through at the hotel.
Can families at home watch the finish?
Yes. Live Pass is a $39 one-time add-on for the event that streams up to 90 minutes to 100 viewers on a private link, with audio, so families hear the cheering as the riders roll in. One person at the finish holds the phone. Viewers open the link on any phone or laptop without installing anything. It suits the arrival more than the ride itself, which is spread over too many miles to stream, and the recorded broadcast can be added to the gallery for the riders to watch afterward.
Is the gallery public, or can riders stay unfindable?
No. The gallery is private by default and reachable only by the link or the code you share with riders and their families. It is never listed anywhere, and guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers, so a rider's name and kit are not searchable. If the club wants a gate, turn on host review and the ride director approves uploads before anyone else sees them. The gallery can be closed to new uploads once the tour is over and taken down whenever the club decides.
What does it cost for a club tour with sixty riders?
One Event Pass at $29, paid once for the whole tour, however many days it runs. It includes the sub-events, unlimited uploads with a fair-use bound of 25 GB, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting. There is no per-rider or per-day charge. Live Pass for the finish is a separate $39 one-time add-on if the families want to watch the arrival. Most clubs fold the cost into the registration fee, where it is a small fraction of the jersey.
