Let Trek do all the planning for your great cycling vacation

There’s never a shortage of great prizes at the BikeFest Kickoff Fundraiser Party.

Trek of Pittsburgh really stepped up and offered a unique Premier silent auction item: The Cycling Vacation of your dreams (for two).  The winner of this auction will have an all expenses paid (except airfare) vacation for two people to one of the following locations of their choice.  The price of the trip covers most everything you need for two people, as well as the things you didn’t realize you’d want.

Trek Travel, a subsidiary of Trek Bicycles, offers some of the best cycling vacations in the world.  On top of getting to stay at some of the swankest hotels available, participants get to use perfectly fitted Trek bicycles and gear – so you don’t even need to bring anything but yourself.  Your knowledgeable guides take you off the beaten path, and ensure everything from meals, to support, to private tours and tastings are taken care of.

Take a look at the vacations that are offered below.  The person who bids the most by the end of the party (all proceeds benefit BikePGH) will get to choose one of the following three trips.  Will this be you?
