Looking for a truly immersive travel experience this year? It might be easier than you think; in fact, Tania Burke says all you need is a bicycle.
One of the more challenging routes Trek Travel offers customers—and which Tania participates in herself—is the Etape du Tour. This happens on a rest day for the pros racing in the Tour de France, allowing amateur cyclists to bike part of the route.
“There’s more cyclists than cars on the road,” Keller said.
Keller and Brewer embarked on a Trek Travel group cycling tour across [Mallorca]. He showed several slides and explained some of the perks of traveling with a group, namely the safety of being surrounded by others. He also noted going during the off-season provided cheaper prices for car and boarding rentals.
There is no sporting event quite like the Tour de France, the legendary cycling race consisting of 21 day-long stages run over 23 days, a competition that crisscrosses the French countryside.
Now Trek Travel, a cycling vacation company offering cycling tours around the globe, is the Official Tour Operator for the tour and has come out with six new 2020 Tour de France Bike Tours as well as an exclusive finish line viewing party. The company promises behind-the-scenes access to the Trek-Segafredo team along with VIP race access at key stages throughout the tour, including the Grand Depart in Nice, the climbs of Col de la Madeleine, Col des Aravis, Col des Glières and the finishes on the Col de la Loze, La Roche sur Foron and the Paris finale.
Trek Travel named Bicycling Magazine’s Best Race-Adjacent:
Spring Classics Ultimate Experience.
This 11-day VIP tour in Belgium and northern France is one of the most storied pilgrimages that bike-racing fans can make. After all, the eight days that bridge the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix comprise cycling’s Holy Week. Tackle the short but jarring segments on these bucket-list monuments, like the Paterberg and the Arenberg Forest, then watch Peter Sagan, Philippe Gilbert, and other legends crush the cobbles from exclusive seating on the Kwaremont and the Roubaix velodrome.
As the Official Tour Operator for the tour, Trek Travel will offer behind-the-scenes access to the Trek-Segafredo team, along with VIP race access at key stages throughout the Tour.
Trek Travel provides access to the race’s best moments in person, including the Grand Depart in Nice, exhilarating climbs of Col de la Madeleine, Col des Aravis, Col des Glières and finishes on the Col de la Loze, La Roche sur Foron and the Paris finale.
Tennessee may not jump to mind as a bike travel destination, but if you’re looking to dip a toe in the cycling world from a single luxurious base instead of moving each night, Trek Travel’s trips from Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain, near Knoxville, can’t be beaten.
Serious cyclists have long gravitated to the area for its mix of low-traffic roads, rolling terrain and ferocious climbs. But Trek Travel guests have it easier with high-end e-assist hybrid bikes (or top=end performance road bikes), which carry you along twisting backroads and trails that always return you to your world-renowned hotel.
Pedaling across the United States has long been on Tania Burke’s “sprocket list,” as they say in cycling circles.
For the time being, however, she has to enjoy the grueling, 3,400-mile, 42-day ride that gains 141,000 feet – an average of 93 miles and more than 3,800 feet of climbing a day – from her office in Madison, WI, where she toils as president of Trek Travel. Not that Burke – who is married to Trek Bicycles president John Burke, making them perhaps the ultimate cycling power couple – doesn’t get in lots of miles.
Ever since my bad knee finally gave out at Tough Mudder in 2017, I have been looking for … something. I loved my half marathons, triathlon sprints, mud runs and obstacle course races. These events all gave me a purpose in the gym and goals to achieve and friends to train with.
But with a bad knee that will dog me for the rest of my life, my doctors have told me to stop running. I turned to cycling, and it has become a good alternative for me – and I hope you think about it for yourself, too. In the last few years, thanks to riding in the Trek 100, the Scenic Shore 150 and taking a Trek Travel vacation riding through Tuscany, I have discovered the joy of pushing for longer distances and bigger hill climbs.
