 Bike Riders Announces Walking Adventures
Bike Riders is proud to introduce Walking Adventures in New England and Europe. Now in addition to biking, you can walk with us and enjoy the exhilaration of new vistas, flavors and discoveries under the power of your own two feet. Wind your way through a lush vineyard in Umbria, or through the magical mossy forests of Acadia, Maine. Let your senses take over. Hear the honeybees, feel the refreshing breeze on your skin, smell the wildflowers. Discover the joys of exploring on foot. Our expert trip leaders share the local lore while you stroll on your way, at your own pace. Choose from our favorite destinations: Maine: Walking Acadia, Town and Country Pleasures in Ireland, Fabled Towns and Footpaths in Umbria, Dreams of Tuscany, and Promenade in Provence.

New Biking Adventure in Portugal
Deep red earth and golden wheat fields punctuate the purity of Portugal's Alentejan plain. Located due east of Lisbon, Alentejo is this charming country's hidden gem. By day ride through a gentle landscape of gnarled cork-oak trees and whitewashed villages. By night dine on smoked pata negra and strong-bodied red wines and embrace the vibrant atmosphere and warm energy of the Portuguese. Pedaling the Alentejan Plain is a great new itinerary for those looking for easier biking.
2005 Dates: Apr 11-16, May 16-21, Jun 13-18, Sep 12-18, Oct 10-15

Three Day Biking Getaway in France
Due to the popularity of our three day biking escape in Umbria, we have added another three day biking getaway for 2005..this time in the lavish Loire Valley of France. Heralded in history and famous for its castles clinging to the hillsides and alongside the rivers, the Loire Valley is rich not only in architectural wonders, but also in the vineyards, churches and villages that grace the plains. From glamorous castles to picture book villages, our trip is highlighted by tranquil routes, fine cuisine and an unforgettable taste of the aristocratic way of life. Our three day biking trip in the Loire is the perfect culmination of your travels in Paris and France.
2005 Dates: Jun 22-24, Jul 27-29, Sep 21-23
