Cycling trips meet the glamping world in TerraVelo Tours, a new bike trip company pairing long distance-riding with overnights in mobile luxury camps.
Beginning in September, seven-day itineraries cover about 500 miles in the canyons of southern Utah, hitting Zion, Bryce, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.
Limited to 12 riders per trip, the groups spend each evening in a camp with unexpected amenities including tents with Frette-linen-dressed beds and rugs underfoot, a lounge tent with a sofa and board games, a bar and mobile shower and toilet facilities.
Two full-time chefs provide meals, and evening entertainment may include live music, massage services or guided stargazing with a visiting astronomer.
"We've heard so many times from people, 'I love being outdoors and love adventure travel but at the end of the day I don't want to be in a sleeping bag on the ground,'" said Rebecca Martin, an events planner who co-founded TerraVelo with David Levine, an avid cyclist who has pedaled extensively in 61 countries.
Catering to couples or friends with potentially divergent interests, the trips offer two tracks: the "peloton" for riders who want to put in up to 100 miles each day, and "travelers" for cyclists spending a half a day on a bike, for roughly 20 to 35 miles, and the other half taking guided excursions such as hiking or horseback riding.
Trips cost $7,850 per person, double occupancy, including domestic round-trip airfare from 48 states and the use of a Specialized Roubaix Expert bike with Ultegra gearing.
