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.

Monument Valley: “It’s just an unbelievable landscape,” says Dave Edwards, a guide with Trek Travel for 16 years, of the desert scenery you’ll encounter on the approximately 45-mile ride that stretches along Route 13 from northern Arizona to southern Utah through Navajo Nation’s Monument Valley Tribal Park.

In terms of difficulty level, the route, which is slightly hilly and open to cars, is best suited to intermediate riders, Edwards says. Extend your stay overnight and experience yet another pinch-me panorama: an “unreal” sky of stars, he says.

Trek Travel’s six-day Alaska experience offers the ultimate adventure in America’s final frontier. From snow-capped mountains and glaciers to steep fjords and barren gravel tracks, epic landscapes almost become commonplace.

If you’re (un)lucky, you’ll encounter grazing caribou, packs of wolves and looming bears on the hunt for spawning salmon. In addition to cycling, this multisport trip also features kayaking in Seward’s Resurrection Bay, floating along the Talkeetna River and a ride on the Alyeska Aerial Tram for unparalleled views.

Like AmaWaterways, Scenic has landed a well-regarded partner to lead biking charter groups on its ships. Trek Travel is an adventure company launched in 2002 from the Trek cycling manufacturer, and it is a world-leading bike tour operator.

These cruises ramp up the daily mileage and especially appeal to avid cyclists used to riding more than 30 or 40 miles a day.

Trek Travel and Scenic offer departures on the Rhine and Danube Rivers, and you get to ride on high-quality carbon-fiber Trek road bikes.

“The melding of the two activities—either of which makes for a great trip in itself—was what made it unique,” says Dallas’s Mac Tichenor about his 2018 Danube River Cruise, through Trek Travel. “It combined good friends, engaging guides, gorgeous scenery, great bikes, the best food and wine, and the novelty and unexpected luxury of the barge experience.”

Travelers who like the idea of a guided tour but don’t care to spend it with strangers can always splurge on a private tour. Honeymooners and family reunion groups especially like this option—and if the group is large enough, it doesn’t cost much more than standard group tours. Beyond limiting the group to loved ones, friends, or work colleagues, these trips can be fully custom-tailored—you can add a side trip to a special winery, for example, or a “bucket list” ride to a mountaintop.
