KOOMPASS adventures are designed primarily for experienced cyclists who appreciate challenging yet deeply rewarding rides. Most routes feature moderate to significant elevation gains and daily distances that typically range from 50-100+ kilometers for gravel and road cycling, and 20-40+ for All Mountain and Enduro riding. However, we recognize that "experienced" encompasses a wide spectrum of abilities. That's why we provide detailed difficulty ratings and comprehensive route profiles for each adventure, including average daily distances, elevation data, and terrain descriptions. Before booking, our team offers personalized fitness assessments to match you with the adventure that best aligns with your current cycling abilities and aspirations. For those looking to step up their performance, we can recommend pre-trip training plans to help you prepare. Additionally, our support vehicles are always available should you need a break during particularly challenging sections. The ideal KOOMPASS rider comes prepared for a physical challenge but understands that our journeys are about the complete experience—not just racing from point to point.
Securing your KOOMPASS adventure is simple and flexible. A 30% deposit reserves your spot, with the remaining 70% due one month before your adventure begins.

This structured approach allows you to plan ahead while ensuring your cycling adventure is fully arranged before departure.
