Trek Travel: Where Luxury Is Mandatory and the Miles Are Optional

With 25 plus years of designing and building the world's best bicycles and traveling the globe riding them, Trek Bicycle introduces Trek Travel (www.trektravel.com), a provider of Luxury and Performance cycling vacations in Europe and North America.

Choosing from 17 destinations, customers can rely on Trek Travel to provide the same legendary commitment to world class products and services that has propelled Trek Bicycle to one of the leading bicycle brands in the world.

Riding aboard the latest Trek bikes, customers can choose from a menu of Leisure tours or more Performance oriented trips. Both are designed around the founding motto of Trek Travel that, "Luxury is mandatory and the miles are optional."

"We know that there are a wide variety of cyclists. Some that plan their vacation around their bicycle riding; while others prefer to plan their riding around other activities while on vacation", said John Burke, President of Trek Bicycle. "That's why both styles of trips feature the same best-in-class accommodations and cuisine and allow the customer to choose their style of riding."

Trek Travel also offers Specialty Trips, allowing both Leisure and Performance riders a chance to experience classic races like the Tour de France and the Vuelta or spend a few days riding alongside cycling legends such as Gary Fisher, Frankie Andreu, Kevin Livingston , Bob Roll and Greg LeMond.

"Even though unique cycling experiences are a big part of what Trek Travel offers", Burke said. "We haven't forgotten that our trips are first and foremost a vacation." As a result, all Trek Travel adventures allow ample time for a variety of more traditional diversions, including private wine tasting tours, guided tours led by local historians, and optional days for kayaking, playing golf, or relaxing at a local spa.
