Auction Highlights: 2 Spots on an ExperiencePlus! Tour

What would make signing up for a bicycle tour even more exciting?
How about winning tour space for two in the first annual Adventure Cycling Association Summer Cycling Auction?

Starting Monday, June 18, and running for five days only, Adventure Cycling will host an online auction event. You can visit our page on Bidding for Good and see some of the exciting offerings in our auction. Want a sneak preview of all of the items? Check out the page now, and for even more detail, keep your eye on this blog. We will be featuring items throughout the next two weeks leading up to the auction.

Funds raised through this auction will support the recent re-route of the eastern Montana and North Dakota sections of the Northern Tier and Lewis & Clark bicycle routes due to safety concerns, as well as the ongoing research and mapping of Bicycle Route 66, due to be released in 2014.

Today's featured item is a tour for two from ExperiencePlus!

ExperiencePlus! is offering a $7,500 gift certificate valid for two tour spots on any one of their exciting bicycle tours (value of the certificate will cover the cost of most of their tour offerings). With an opening bid of $2,500*, this is your opportunity to grab an international bicycle tour for a steal! Adventure Cycling supporters and corporate members Maria Elena and Monica Price, owners of ExperiencePlus! Tours, have generously offered this certificate to one lucky auction winner. Hear what they have to say about their family's company:

"There's no better way to take in a country than to be fully immersed in it the way you can be on a bicycle. There's no wall between you and the life that's lived on each corner, in every village plaza and up on the very next hillside.

We started bicycling the world in 1972 with our first guided cycling tour in Italy.  Today we are still a family-run small business with a passion for the open road. Authentic, experienced, and engaging are our watch words. As one of the oldest international bike tour companies around, we are in a unique position to offer high quality routes, guides and itineraries in multiple destinations. We invite you to browse our bicycle tours and destinations and join us on your next cycling vacation."

Visit Italy, France, Germany, Croatia, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Belgium, India, Vietnam, New Zealand, the United States, or or check out some other destinations. I can't help but envision myself peddling across the European countryside on one of these great tours. Where would you go if you won this opportunity?

Don't forget to check out our auction page June 18 - 22 to bid to win these tour spots!
