Gear

Compass Adventure Tours saves you the headache of transporting your own bike. You can rent one of our bikes. Our bikes have a triple chainwheel, which means they have a range of gears that'll get you up Emerald Bay, the most challenging climb of the day. We also provide handlebar bags for carrying incidentals like a camera and snacks.

Equipment

Compass Adventure Tours is also your destination for purchasing the latest equipment. Please check out our on-line catalog for the best in camping, biking, rafting and bicycling gear. Shop our online store for deals on the gear you need to make your trip an adventure of a lifetime. The current special is a Day Pack. The Day pack has a front pocket holds bulky or wet gear and is made of durable canvas. It is a state-of-the-art day pack for backcountry fun or on-the-street transport! Climbers, skiers and anyone else craving comfort will appreciate its thermo-formed back panel and contoured padded shoulder straps. Only $125 (£87 British pounds) this month

Clothing

Finally, remember that there's a darn good reason why cyclists wear that odd-looking synthetic clothing: It dries quickly, and the padded shorts prevent chafing in your sensitive regions. Bring two or three sets, plus a water-resistant windbreaker (made of a breathable microfiber) and tights if the weather might be chilly. You'll need gloves, of course, and a helmet.
