The small decisions that save a ride.
New in 3.3
Plan a trip over several days and see the surface along your route line.
Plan a multi-day trip
Split a route into days by distance or riding time, choose a hotel or campsite near
the end of each day, and save the trip to ride one day at a time.
See the surface of your route
Where the route is paved, gravel or unpaved, how much of each, and what to check
before you pick a bike or tyres.
What to wear cycling
Temperature tables help, but real rides have wind, rain timing, descents, darkness,
and sweat. This is the logic behind the outfit suggestion.
What to wear running
Runners heat up faster, carry less, and make different rain and wind tradeoffs.
This is the running version of the kit check.
Cycling fueling and hydration
Carbs per hour, bottles, a cheap sugar/salt drink mix, and the part people forget:
where the route actually lets you refill.
Cycling tyre pressure
Why measured width, system weight, surface roughness, casing, and mixed terrain
matter more than the number printed on the tyre.
Find stops along a route
Why "near me" fails on the bike, how to scan a GPX route for water and food, and
how to sanity-check OpenStreetMap results before relying on them.
Why this belongs here
Route Companion starts from the route and works outward. It checks weather by route and hour, suggests kit for cycling and running, estimates fuel and fluid, finds stops in ride order, and exports those decisions onto Garmin and Wahoo.
