How Parcours works — three phases, one planning question at a time
Every trip planning question moves through three phases: discovering what fits your context, deciding between the real options, and planning the specifics that make it work. Parcours is structured around these three phases.
Not a route app. Not a tour operator. Not a chatbot. Built for the decisions that sit between trip idea and trip booking.
The planning problem Parcours exists to solve
Most cycling trips are planned across too many disconnected sources: blog posts, forum threads, maps, route files, rental shops, transfer research, and guesswork.
The result is often one of two failures: either the rider does not have enough information to make a confident decision, or they have too much contradictory information and no clear framework for weighing it.
Short trips are especially easy to waste. A plan that looks good on paper — great climbs, a beautiful region, a reasonable number of days — often falls apart because the structure was wrong: the pacing was too aggressive, the base town created unnecessary transfer friction, or the bike logistics became the trip's main event.
Parcours exists to help riders make the core decisions in the right order and with more confidence — especially when the trip is short, expensive, or easy to get wrong.
Where each phase fits in your planning
Discover
What destinations fit your timeframe, discipline, and riding style? What does a realistic trip look like for your fitness and setup?
Decide
Which option makes more sense given your priorities — Girona or Mallorca? Bring or rent? Where is the right base town for what you want from the trip?
Plan
How do the days shape up around your fitness, travel logistics, and what kind of week you actually want — not what looks impressive on a route builder.
How Parcours works
Start with your planning question
Enter the decision you are trying to make — a destination comparison, a trip structure question, a bike logistics question. The more specific your context, the more useful the output.
See a structured recommendation
Get a recommendation shaped around your trip — not a generic answer, but reasoning that fits your timeframe, discipline, fitness, and priorities.
Understand the tradeoffs
See why a recommendation makes sense and what the alternatives are. Know the key differences, not just the headline answer.
