The cycling thread
Bromptonboy:
I may have gotten tentative approval from the wife to go on a great unsupported bike tour this summer. My brother and his 2 daughters are starting out from Manhattan, and riding to Montreal. I am planning on leaving Philadelphia on my own bike a few days earlier - carrying my camping gear, etc - and meet them in Poughkeepsie, NY. I'll stay with them all the way to Montreal. Should take about 10 days more or less. I'll rent a car and load the bike in the back and drive home when completed. There are some great and well defined bicycle routes the whole length of the way. In essence I would follow the Delaware River north, cut across northern NJ & SE New York state to the Hudson River, and head north.

Wow that's incredible and Montreal is my hometown! Let me know when you're going up and maybe I can coordinate it with a visit to my folks.
Jobydrone:
Wow that sounds like a thrilling trip Pete. Good luck! I guess you must do alot of riding locally. Can you recommend any good rides that would be appropriate for an out of shape dad and a little girl who's still a little unsteady without training wheels? I'd love to take my little girl on a one to one day trip that includes a nice long but fairly easy bike ride.
Bryancd:
That sounds so great! My wife and I want to do a bike tour on the southern island of New Zealand in the next few years.

Fran and I are thinking of doing a trip up in Algonquin park at some point this summer. One of my goals is to get in a multi day bike trip, just got to make sure me and my bike are up to it :)
