I first learned about mountain bike adventures from my former colleague. Shawn races mountain bikes in his spare time and is constantly traveling around the country to various meets. Fortunately, you don’t have to compete professionally to enjoy some of the nation’s most incredible biking trails.
A mountain bike tour or vacation is a fun and exciting travel opportunity for anyone looking to explore natural wonders while exercising on two wheels. Not only do you get to enjoy a sport you love, but you also get to learn more about various cities in the good ol’ US of A.
The downside to mountain biking adventures is that most don’t come cheap. This is especially true if you have to fly to your desired destination. Booking airfare for you and your bike can add up fast. Fortunately, there are ways to save on mountain bike vacations.
For starters, stick with trained professionals. Working with an experienced travel agent or using the services of a tour group that specializes in mountain bike adventures is a wise decision. ExperiencePlus Bicycle Tours has locations in North and South America, Australia, Europe and Asia. The travel company is owned and run by Rick and Paola Malpezzi Price, two pioneers in the European biking tours industry, so you know you are in for a ride to remember if you decide to sign-up for one of the tours.
Another option to secure discounted travel to premiere mountain biking venues is to work with travel experts who sell tickets to major mountain bike events. For example, CoastToCoastTickets provides opportunities for you to attend big races, plus they feature travel opportunities for you to ride on the same trails as the pros following the meets.
Finally, you can save additional money if you simply drive rather than fly to a top bike trail. Commercial carriers charge a pretty penny to ship boxed up bikes as checked-in luggage, and they don’t have the best reputation for treating large parcels with care.
