EVERYTHING YOUD EXPECT,

MADE UNEXPECTEDLY INCREDIBLE Its one thing to provide a quality index with everything youd expect a cycling vacation to be. Its entirely different to surprise, delight and change you forever. We didnt get in this business to build vacations. Were here to make memories, create adventure, and show you what discovering the world truly means. Its not only about quality. Its about so much more.

Our trips are guaranteed Youd expect that another tour company would cancel a tripwith low participation. But we wouldnt want our vacationplans cancelled, so we dont do that to you.

Our guides are trained to WOWWOWs are a part of our corporate culture. We hold contests for the best WOW story annually. And it can get competitive.

Our bikes are what bike-lovers wantWe provide the high-end rides that most other companies charge you an upgrade for. After all, no other tour operator was born of the worlds best bike company.

Extras arent extraSometimes the best memories come from the smallest added bonuses, like a free Trek Travel jersey. We love extras, so thats what we give to you.


JUST... CONGRATULATIONS! ON THE ITINERARY, THE WELL-BALANCED RIDES, THE HOTELS, THE SUPPORT, AND MOST OF ALL, THE GUIDES. THE TRIP WAS PERFECT.

Simply stop in to your local Trek dealer before your trip to get measured, and well have your bike adjusted with the right stem length, saddle height, reach, drop and more, all ready for your fi rst ride upon arrival. A few fi nal tweaks and your bike will feel like home. That is, if home were the best vacation youve ever had.

TREKTRAVEL

HERO DIRT FOLLOWED BY HERO RECOVERY. Who says that every mountain bike trip has to include tent set-up

and a makeshift bathroom? Sometimes theres nothing better after

a day of singletrack than a fine, single-barrel whisky before a

chef-inspired meal. Trek Travel brings you the best of both

worlds with our mountain bike camps in Bend, Oregon and

Moab, Utah. Its everything you love about mountain biking,

and nothing you hate about roughing it.

BENDBend is synonymous with amazing beer and even better dirt loaded with flowy, purpose-built single track.

1Happy HourAt any given time or place around the world, there is a group of travelersfi nishing their days ride. They have a euphoria, a sense of tired accomplishment. The ride included exploring a cobbled-street village in Provence, or experiencing an authentic cappuccino in a Tuscan caf, or tasting a wine high up over the Napa Valley. The elation carries into conversations with new-found friends, often around a Trek Travel trailer, about the days adventure.

This is happy hour.

It can linger for hours with guides, travelers, and cyclists enjoying the company of one another, and reveling in the stories at hand.

2Art of the PicnicPutting on a great picnic is part of every guides job description, so we take it seriously to say the least. Our Show Us Your Martha competition ups the ante in the search for picnic perfection, where guides try to out-picnic each other for fun and prizes. The real benefactor? Our guests.

3Castles & ChteauxOur hand-selected hotels include some of the worlds most storied castles and chteaux that have stood the test of time and are now converted into luxurious retreats. We fi gure if theyre good enough for royalty, theyre good enough for us.

WHY TREK TRAVEL?

WHATS INCLUDEDYou choose Trek Travel for our impeccable service, incredible choices and enviable bikes. But youll love Trek Travel for all the added extras that others often leave out.
