CompuTrainer and Holland America



Cruise with CompuTrainer and Holland America to Alaska.

RacerMate Inc of Seattle is pleased to announce another first. After thirty years of design innovation and product development, bringing state of the art indoor cycling ergometers to athletes hungry for performance results, CompuTrainer has designed the perfect way to rest and recover from your workouts: On a luxury cruise ship sailing to Alaska.

We'll pull anchor in Seattle on May 3 and point the ms Amsterdam north. Along the way, you'll do a 20 mile Time Trial on the CT to set a starting power metric. Once in Glacier Bay we'll take our bikes ashore and ride the best course we can design using our full cache of local contacts. This being an intensive training excursion, you'll do a spin scan test later in the evening back aboard the Amsterdam. Then you have the evening to relax, enjoy the world-class amenities, dine, get a massage, hit the sauna, whale watch. Talk about a recovery!

We'll repeat this exciting protocol for six days hitting Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria, BC, Canada on the return sail. These are two-a-day rides, one indoors on a very specific CT drill, and again outside in the five ports-of-call. Indoor ride, rest, outdoor ride, recover. A great way to discover your true cycling potential, ramp up for the season, regain your climbing legs, and discover the absolute splendor of the great state of Alaska.

Sound fun? We think so too. And to make it even more exciting, the price is even better. Seven days, five group rides, structured and guided training, on a luxury liner. All cruise fares, port taxes, fees, meals included. You get to Seattle, bring your bike, and away we go. $1,200 per person, based on double occupancy. And please don't forget about the final 20 mile TT on the last day to compare your improvement!

Cruise with CompuTrainer and Holland America to Alaska this May 3-10. Get fit, have fun, ride lots, see the world.

We have 8 Staterooms reserved. Upgrades available. A $125 deposit due 3/1/10 to hold a reservation. Travel arrangements by Bainbridgetravel.com. Call 206.842.1099 for details or go to RacerMateinc.com for additional information.

Yeah, I think so too. More details coming soon. From what I read, early May is OK temp wise, mid 50s, so we'll hope for the best.

It does sound great. Besides I like such torture aspect with some luxury and a good view to go along. Pretty much describes my regular life. Anyway, I will go if I can. Tough to tell at the moment, but I can likely meet the deadline for the decision part. Can I bring my dog, Pup? Do I need a side-car?

I'll have to check about Spot. Could we call this the Ship of Pain??

Yeah. Biden says he wouldn't travel anywhere today in a confined space. Guess I better stay in my house then.

There are pirates in the Gulf of Alaska? I better check with Frozen. Although to be fair, I listen to Joe more than I did with Dick.
