Travel with your bike to Exotic Places - Submitted by Buzz, November 7, 2007.

All tours are designed and guided by Lise Fleury and Gary Bezer Owner/Operators of Adventure Travel Group and Club members of Cyclo-Vets. Your only contacts from your initial request for trip information to the end of your tour are Gary and Lise. Which means there will not be a disconnect between the "front office" and what happens on your tour. They are passionate about bicycling and love the people and places in which we tour and want to share our experience with you. They have no outside staff, no sales people or research directors, no staff writers or photographers and no fancy brochures. Low overhead allows them to spend more of your Trip dollar into your tour.

Tours are limited to 14 guests, which allows the use of small family-run inns and restaurants and stay in more quaint locations than other Tour operators who must design their tours to accommodate larger group size. A smaller group size allows for a more relaxed traveling and dining experience for our guests. The smaller group size also allows a familiar and personal relationship to develop amongst the riders.

Most of the tours are designed with many 2-3-night stays. There is not the urgency to pack/unpack everyday, which allows you to enjoy your vacation and really get to know a region. You and/or your companion can sleep in, enjoy a leisurely day sightseeing the area, or just relax.

Over 90% of the guests are returning guests and referrals from previous guests. They encourage you to contact their previous guests for direct feedback regarding their Adventure Travel Group tour experience.

You choose how much or little you want to ride each day. You decide if you want to ride with the group or independently at your own rhythm. They will provide you with a variety of ride options and other activities so you can choose how you want to spend your day. The support van is always available if you decide you want to shorten your ride or get a “boost” up a certain hill. You and your traveling companion can share the same trip, but can create the unique experiences you want.

As a Cyclo-Vet you save with a special member discount. Pick from great Vacation such as Croatia or how about that Tour de France trip you have been dreaming about taking. Now is the time to book it and feel comfortable with the tour operator you know on a personal basis. Gary rides with our club regularly as much as he can when he is in town sometimes on Saturday rides or Great Western on Sunday. You can usually find him with his Orange Adventure Travel Jersey, or meet his wife as she plans to ride with us as well soon.

We welcome them aboard and hope that each and every Cyclo-Vet has pleasant travels.......and when they do, let us know so that we can tell your story in the Masterlink.

For further information, see their website.

....and if you email them (their email is on their website) they will keep in contact with you regarding special deals and events!

Submitted by Buzz, October 3, 2006.

As we now move into our new Cyclo-Vet year we are grateful to have aligned ourselves with another sponsor to assist us should we have interaction with the pavement or some other fixed (or moving) object that causes us injury we certainly should not have had to sustain.

The Law Firm of Richard L. Duquette is a bicycle injury specialty practice, staffed by Mr. Duquette, a Legal Secretary, and a Legal Administrator. A multitude of independent investigators and expert witnesses are available for hire as needed. The Firm has exclusively represented people since 1983 when they are injured in an accident. Their intention is to remain small and specialized, so they can offer our clients the most vigorous, intelligent, and thorough representation available.

They are proud of their results and their reputation in the trial courts. As a Cyclo-Vet in good standing, you will receive a $500 discount off the fee and the firm will donate $ 250 to both Cyclo-Vets and the Challenged Athlete Foundation from the fees they collect. Mr. Duquette is a very experienced cyclist and thoroughly understands the biomechanics of accidents and injury as well as the lifestyle change athletes suffer from when injured.

Further information can be obtained from clicking on their logo on our website or going directly to http://www.911law.com. We all hope you never need such a service, but accidents do happen. Call Richard or his wife Kim (Legal Administrator) at 800.464.4123

Trek Bicycle Superstores: 20% Discount for all Members.

Submitted by Buzz, July 30, 2004.

As a Cyclo-Vet's member you enjoy a discount with the local Trek dealer. This discount is a great benefit that all members enjoy.

Trek has asked that in order we can maintain this substantial privilege we be confidential amongst ourselves and be discreet when in their stores and amongst the public. In order to receive the discount you need to be a Cyclo-Vet member registered within the store system, carry your CV membership card and only mention that you are a Cyclo-Vet when at the register. The discount is automated.

Purchasing on the behalf of others, discussing your discount with others in the store can only lead to losing this great benefit.
