Bike trips with a company
I have done a number of trips with Trek Travel. Am in the process of putting together another trip with Trek Travel to Tuscany in Sept 08 and Provence in June 08. My experiences have varied with the trip and the mix of travelers in each group. The trips to Tour de France have been exhilarating, challenging and tremendous fun. The guides for Trek have been excellent and very accomodating. On one trip I was having some leg/knee issues and did not want to suffer a serious injury trying to ride the "cols". The guides and other members of the group were considerate and never made me feel like a wuss. One of my roommates on the second trip I made with Trek had done a number of trips with Backroads and Breaking Away. After some discussion, my roomie commented: "You know, Backroads and Breaking Away are great companies and they do a fine job, but they could take lessons from Trek Travel". My own take is that I have had the time of my life on the trips with Trek Travel. I feel you would be missing a great opportunity if you did not look into Trek Travel.......read the info on the website www.trektravel.com Call and talk with one of their travel consultants. They are the best!!!!!! And if anyone wants to contact me via email, please feel free to do so.
