Just thinking about riding in Colorado gets my lactate up. We are working with a couple of event directors to film one of the great Rockies rides this year.
There is something very special about climbing. Might have to do with endorphins, altitude, air temps, the vistas, the snow. Or as we like to say, all of the above.
As well as the Colorado routes, the intrepid crew at RCVman HQ is also working on the Alaska CompuTrainer cruise. So far we have this rough agenda:
Leave Seattle aboard the Holland America Lines ms Amsterdam on Monday, May 3.
Each participant will do the first of two indoor 20 mile TT to establish a base metric en route.
Outdoor ride in Glacier Bay National Park. Speed session on the CT.
Outdoor ride in Juneau. Power session on the CT.
Outdoor ride in Sitka. Skills ride on the CT.
Outdoor ride in Ketchikan. Intervals on the CT.
Outdoor ride in Victoria, BC. Final indoor 20 mile TT on CT.
Return to Seattle.
As well as all the world class amenities aboard the luxury liner, we get these five great rides and the CompuTrainer sessions to create a intensive seven day bike training cruise. What could better? Who knows we might even get chased by bears.
Looks like right now we can bring all this in for $1,200 per person. That includes, cruise, meals, rides, port taxes, fees and fares. Does NOT include air-fare to get to Seattle. Oh, and you also get the video, natch. Stay tuned VBA, as mentioned we are working with HAL and Bainbridge Travel to pull all this exciting stuff together. Hope to announce to the world on Monday.
In the meantime, let's simulate some hills, shall we?
