Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 18, 2005
Cycling website Velotainment.com announced the Hard Launch today of the companies 2005 Self-Guided Tour de France Guide, on the heels of the announcement that 6-Time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong, will defend his title in 2005, ending months of speculation about his plans. The guide was also featured this week on http://www.thepaceline.com, which serves as Armstrong's official team and personal fan club website, as well as being re-featured on top cycling website http://www.pezcyclingnews.com, in their travel section.
Available online now the guide is a resource for self-reliant cycling travelers and Lance Armstrong fans alike who plan to follow the 2005 Tour de France on their own. The guide is the brainchild of Velotainment.com Founder and Cycling Journalist, Ted Arnold, who's 5 years of experience at Le Tour ranges from that of a professional Tour de France guide, to contributing writer for top cycling publications, and numerous online cycling websites. The book serves as a template for trip planners with sample itineraries for the full 3-weeks of the Tour de France, as well as all of the pre-trip planning information needed before the event.
ÂThe guide has been a labor of love for the last 4 years and with LanceÂs decision to race so late this year I feel that our guide is perfectly positioned to help fans create a vacation of a lifetime because this year Le Tour could very well be his last, said Arnold. ÂSo far our Soft Launch sales have been great, but with ArmstrongÂs wide international appeal I hope to show both cycling and non-cycling fans alike that planning their own vacation is not just attainable, but instead a more rewarding experience too. There are no shortage of pay Tour companies in the market charging substantial amounts of money, but our guide is the only truly affordable ($19.95) self-guided resource in the market, Arnold went on to say.
From early pre-trip planning phases to the exact details that give the Âwhen and where Velotainment.comÂs Self-Guided Tour de France 2005 is positioned to provide Tour de France vacation travelers with the resources they need to create their own adventure.
