Trek Travel is partnering with Swiss cycling legend Fabian Cancellara to add some star power to the Spring Classics trips offered by the Madison, Wis.-based tour operator.
Cancellara — aka Spartacus — will be crashing the party for part of Trek Travel’s Flanders With Fabian trip, a five-day journey (March 31 to April 4) that includes Belgium’s Tour of Flanders race. Trek also is running a Paris-Roubaix trip April 6-10 (without Cancellara), where guests get to watch the pros battle it out on the famed cobblestones of the classic one-day competition. An Olympic gold medalist, Cancellara is a three-time winner of the Tour of Flanders and of the Paris-Roubaix.

Trek Travel’s role as an official tour operator and its affiliation with the Trek-Segafredo cycling team mean guests get up close to the action and the riders. I did a Tour de France trip with Trek Travel a few years ago, and the access was great.
The Tour of Flanders trip costs $3,799 a person, based on double occupancy; Paris-Roubaix is priced at $3,499. That includes lodging, most meals, guides and the use of some sweet Trek road bikes with electronic shifting. Both trips can be combined into a 10-night itinerary for $7,999.
