Bike Tours in Europe: 5 Benefits Of Designing A Custom Cycling Tour For Your Private Group Vacation

Do you love to ride your bike and have been thinking about taking a bike tour in Europe? Do you have a group of friends that like to ride as well? Are you a member of a bike club? Have you dreamed of riding like a pro in Europe? All of these are good scenarios for a custom bike tour. Here are 5 of the top reasons you should consider one for your next vacation:

Your Itinerary: You set the schedule. You don't have to work around someone else's itinerary. You tell the bike tour operator what you would like to do and where you'd like to go, then the tour operator will work with you to create a trip that fits you and your interests. This can be particularly attractive to groups that have serious riders and non-riding partners. With a custom itinerary, you can balance the trip to work with both groups and perhaps even design it so that there are specific, separate activities for both groups. That way everyone is happy.

Your Dates: Do you have specific days you'd like to travel? No problem. You tell the bike tour operator when you'd like to go and for how long and they'll work with your schedule. It's already difficult enough trying to get your friends and family to be free to travel on all the same dates. You shouldn't have to worry about your dates matching up with the tour operator's schedule. With a custom bike tour, you pick the dates and the duration so it fits you perfectly.

Your Group: By their very nature, custom trips are private trips. Invite your friends, family, etc. You don't have to share your trip with anyone you don't want to. From day one of the trip, your group will naturally be more cohesive since the participants generally know each other far better than a regular trip. Custom trips are perfect for families, bike racing clubs, friends and coworkers.

Flexibility: Do you need something special or unique to happen on your trip? Does the trip coincide with a special event, such as an anniversary, birthday or is it to celebrate your group's achievements? Do you need special transportation options, such as a private shuttle for your group at the airport or at your pre-trip hotel? What about having special, non-riding activities added to the trip, such as private wine tastings, cooking classes or shopping excursions? These can be discussed as part of your initial custom bike tour consultation.

Relax: Let the bike tour operator do all the planning. Once you tell them what you'd like to do, they'll build the trip for you. All you'll have to do is show up and enjoy the cycling!

Baseball Players Who Have Spent Three Different Stints With The Same Club

When he suited up for Kansas City after the trade deadline on August 1, outfielder Melky Cabrera joined a host of other players who have spent a second stint with a team. Cabrera had previously been with the Royals back in 2011, a year before he won the National league battle title as a member of the San Francisco Giants. Many of those who return to a team have been motivated by a desire to end their careers with the club with which it began. Just last year retiring All-Star Gold Glove outfielder Torii Hunter rejoined Minnesota, where he had spent the first decade of his playing career. A few seasons ago Ken Griffey, Jr., who spent his first eleven big league years with the Mariners, returned to Seattle to finish out his career. All time hits leader Pete Rose had done the same thing back in 1987, when he went back to Cincinnati to end his playing days with the hometown club that had signed him. Nearly every year at the trade deadline or during the winter meetings at least one player, s...

Bontrager - Never Compromise on Quality

The story of Bontrager is legendary. It is founded by Keith Bontrager, a driven do it yourself guy, who was a rider himself. He was also a mechanic, designer, physicist, and an engineer. He used to spend a lot of time in the dumpsters collecting broken parts, and dedicating himself to make better designs. This reverse analysis helped him develop a saying that went, 'Pick Strong and then light'. He had a reputation of making bikes with the strongest and lightest parts available. He always demanded that the parts be stronger and lighter but not always cheap. He never compromised on this logic and the customers to agree that quality is of utmost importance. Bontrager has grown tremendously from its early days of pondering over the broken parts in his garage . Many categories of Bontrager parts are now available and Keith now spends a lot of his time testing these parts on the field. The logo, which shows a B- dot assures quality and durability. They have undergone stringent tests ...
