Back for 2013 is our ever-popular Santa Barbara to Taos trip! Test your mettle on this, the first leg of our epic Cross Country USA trip. This challenge is not for the faint of heart but rather for serious riders. Embarking on this journey from Santa Barbara you'll ride out of town on some of the same roads featured in previous Amgen Tour of California stages; all the while enjoying the performance of a high end Trek Domane road bike. You'll pedal east across demanding, rugged terrain where you can just put your head down and hammer, leaving all the support and mechanics to your skilled Trek Travel guides. You'll have time to soak in the otherworldly beauty of the Mojave Desert as you make your way across the high desert, past ancient mesas and monuments to the Grand Canyon and the cloaked splendor of the Rocky Mountains. Finish this ambitious ride across one third of North America with a final demanding 142-mile day of climbing into Taos, New Mexico. At the end of it all have a final well-deserved gourmet dinner with our intrepid Cross Country USA trip guests. Toast these hearty souls good luck before they press on for another 2000 miles through the heartland of America all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Who knows, maybe at that point you'll be thinking about going all the way next time yourself!
